With Another Loss, Pressure Mounts For Struggling Blackhawks
On Friday night in Calgary, the Blackhawks lost for the fifth consecutive time. The Flames snapped a two game losing streak and ground out a 3-1 victory over the beleaguered Hawks.

Shaw and Stalberg Make an Impact
The Blackhawks stayed determined, played a solid sixty minutes of hockey and came away with another home ice victory. The 4-3 score was flattering to the San Jose Sharks.

Red Wings Win Seven Straight, Beat Sabres 4-1

The Red Wings are now on a seven-game winning [...]
