Hawks Stay The Course...win at Columbus 5-1

The Chicago Blackhawks are still without their star captain Jonathan Toews, but the team is starting to gell. They are doing it at the right time. Last month Detroit seemed invincible (Setting a home streak winning record) and the Hawks looked abysmal. This month, the schedule is actually more difficult, and the Hawks are winning and Detroit is sinking. Nashville is slowly sinking too.
The Hawks have 8 games remaining, and the once invincible 11-13 point lead that Detroit had on the Hawks has started to dwindle. The Hawks looked as if they had to "settle" for a 6th position slot. That still may be where they end up, but with 8 games remaining, they can move up to 4th if Nashville continues to sink and Detroit continues to sink.....and (knock on wood) the Hawks continue to play well.

The Hawks still play Nashville twice and Detroit once. However, the Hawks needn't worry about that right now. Just simply take care of business, get Jonny Toews back healthy, and ....come what may.
