The Chicago Blackhawks come out of the all-star break in a position almost nobody thought they would occupy this late in the season. They’re three points out of the final wild-card spot and they’re trending upward. Prior to losing the last game before the break, they had won five in a row.
But if there’s a team that has a tougher month of February, feel free to let us know. Of the 14 games the Blackhawks play in the month, all but three are on the road. On the other, hand, the Blackhawks have actually been better away from the United Center this season, so you never know…
The Blackhawks are one of the more intriguing teams in the NHL this season, and will continue to be.
