After a week’s hiatus, the Chicago Blackhawks weekly preview returns — almost in time for the new year. The Blackhawks rang in 2016 on a high note, winning a relatively unexciting 3-0 game against the Ottawa Senators at the United Center on Sunday. The Blackhawks will continue their Eastern Conference swing through this week before finishing with an in-division foe.
Last week was very good to the Blackhawks as far as earning points. They managed to get healthy against three teams they should beat time in and time out — Arizona, Colorado and Ottawa — and although they didn’t always look good doing so, they got six points out of the week.
