The January doldrums finally reached a crescendo for the Blackhawks on Friday night in Boston — save for goaltender Scott Darling.
If not for the netminder’s play against the Bruins, Chicago might’ve been dealing with it’s second embarrassment this month. Instead, Darling made 30 saves to give the Hawks a chance to pick up the victory.
Then late in the third period, Marian Hossa gave Chicago the goal it needed to secure it. With just more than a minute left in regulation, Tanner Kero fed a pass to Hossa that the winger buried into a wide open net for game-winner.
