Joel Quenneville loves winning more than anything, but it’s good to see he’s resting players already with the finish line in sight.
Last night he let Marian Hossa who I’m sure would have been in the lineup if this was a playoff game have the night off, and he gave Johnny Oduya another night off when the Hawks are playing back to back games.
The good news before the Hawks game ended was the fact that the Minnesota Wild had lost their 5th straight game which made resting some of the Blackhawks veterans easier to take.
