The Blackhawks are the surprise team in the NHL, so the question stands: Who is responsible for their success?
The Chicago Blackhawks have found success quickly, making the NHL Central Division more of a “group of death” instead of the easiest division in the league. Patrick Kane is the NHL’s MVP, Kevin Lankinen is the Calder favorite, with Pius Suter and Philipp Kurashev close behind. Jeremy Colliton has developed multiple first-year players and this young, depleted team into a dark horse contender.
