Sparked again by their explosive checking line, the Chicago Blackhawks beat the Detroit Red Wings 4-3 in overtime Tuesday night to extend their win streak to four games. Posting five points across the last two games, the line of Ryan Hartman, Tanner Kero and Richard Panik has played a major role in the streak, and the ‘Hawks have found more balanced production throughout the lineup.
In a break from his constant tinkering, coach Joel Quenneville has played the same line combinations throughout the streak, consistently rolling four lines to great effect.
