The Hawks built up a multi-goal lead and never let it slip away while beating the Los Angeles Kings 2-1 out in California on Thursday night.

LA’s been up and down since: they lost three of four on both sides of Halloween, then won four straight before losing five of seven, including a 3-1 loss to the Ca...

He's been out recovering first from knee surgery, then hip surgery. It's cost him a season and a half, but he's getting closer to a return. Insider Elliotte Friedman noted on Hockey Night in Canada that, while his future doesn't appear to be in a Blackhawks uniform, as they don't have room for him in their crease, a notable suitor is lurking, and Chicago...
