The Chicago Blackhawks have already locked up the No. 1 seed in the Western Conference for the playoffs and the Central Division, but there’s more to be had.
Chicago (50-21-7) sits just three points back of NHL-leading Washington in the President’s Trophy race as the league’s point leader. The Capitals (110 points) have five regular season games remaining while the Hawks have four left, which starts Sunday when they host the Boston Bruins in their regular-season home finale at United Center. The Hawks need two more wins to match the franchise record of 52 regular-season wins set during the 2009-10 season.
