The Jackets (34-35-4) will be without forward Jared Boll, who was suspended for three games for a check to the head of the Ducks' Patrick Maroon.
Andrew Shaw has three goals in two games for the Blackhawks, who are 2-2 in their last four and 8-3-1 since Patrick Kane's injury Feb. 24.
Corey Crawford (30-16-5) will start in goal for the Blackhawks (44-23-6), while Sergei Bobrovsky (23-17-2) will do the same for the Blue Jackets.
