Chicago Blackhawks: Renewed winning run begins in Columbus

After a magical season opening run that saw Chicago earn at least one point in 24 consecutive games, the Blackhawks have wobbled a bit as they have lost two straight contests. The streak ended in Colorado on Friday as the Avalanche pounded the Hawks 6-2. Chicago then returned home and allowed four first period goals and dropped a 6-5 decision to the Edmonton Oilers on Sunday. Chicago is dealing with an injury concern as star winger Patrick Sharp is out 3-4 weeks.

Columbus Blue Jackets: Overtime warriors finally drop one in extra time

Despite the fact that they are under-manned against most teams in the National Hockey League, the Columbus Blue Jackets battle hard in every game. The proof is in the pudding as the Jackets have seen six of their last seven games go into overtime – they won five straight before dropping a 2-1 decision to the Vancouver Canucks in a shootout on Tuesday. From the “Did You Know” file, Columbus is now 21-6 when backed on the puck line this season – that is simply amazing.
