The Blackhawks will go for their fourth straight win when they open a three-game homestand at the United Center by hosting the Sabres on Sunday night.
Chicago is red-hot with a 5-1-1 record in its past seven games to go above .500 for the first time this season. The high-flying Blackhawks (8-7-4) have scored at least five goals in four of their past five games after a 7-2 victory over the Predators on Saturday in Nashville. Patrick Kane extended his point streak to eight games with a goal and an assist in the game that saw defenseman Connor Murphy return to the lineup after missing 11 games with a groin injury.
