If you like fast games, the start of this one was… not that. It took more than six minutes for either team to register a shot on net. The Blackhawks got the game’s first power play and, while it didn’t convert, the Hawks got some momentum and took the early lead.

The Blackhawks spent most of the second perio...

Connor Bedard and Sidney Crosby. That should get you to tune in for this one. But the Blackhawks have been playing well lately, even if the wins aren’t coming as frequently as we would like.
