Chicago Blackhawks: Team effort fuels record setting run

Coming off of a 3-0 shutout win over the St. Louis Blues last night, Chicago looks to make it a legal 21 games in row without a regulation loss as they battle the Blue Jackets tonight. It seems that everyone, from the owner, to the stick boy, to the fans, has played a role in the Blackhawks dramatic success. Though the numbers look brilliant on paper, the Hawks have had to scrap and claw out wins on most nights during the run. That’s evident by the eight games that have gone into extra time and the fact that 13 of their 20 contests have been decided by just one goal.

Columbus Blue Jackets: Battling hard with limited talent or little success

Like the Blackhawks, in that they are battling in close contests on most nights, the Columbus Blue Jackets just don’t have the horses to bring home a winning crop of games. Columbus has seen 12 of their twenty games decided by one goal and they have lost eight of those. The Jackets should be fairly rested as they last played at home against the Dallas Stars on Tuesday. Columbus gave up a one goal lead four times in that contest before getting tagged with a 5-4 overtime loss. That type of loss, coupled with their current 5-12-3 record, certainly isn’t a confidence booster.
