Goaltending deserves much of the credit for Blackhawks’ win streak

Brian Campbell listed a few things the Blackhawks have improved upon during the Blackhawks’ winning streak, which reached seven games on Wednesday.

Penalty killing, better defense and various players making contributions were some of the reasons for the recent success. But Campbell was cognizant of what’s really been key.

“I think we’d probably like to rely a little less on our goaltenders,” Campbell said. “They’ve played unbelievable as a group.”

There’s no denying the Blackhawks are playing better as this winning streak continues. But the overall theme has definitely been great goaltending. Corey Crawford has supplied much of it, going 6-0-0 during his portion of the stretch.
