Stalberg get's first Hat trick as Hawks snap 0 for 2012

Racing for a puck down the right side Viktor Stalberg flew past his man to pick up the puck and shove it into the net for his first career hat trick. Hawks more importantly snapped a 4 game losing streak and saw Detroit lose in Long Island. So, the Hawks and St. Louis sit a top the Central with 55 points (St. Louis has a game to spare). The Hawks aren't out of the wood work yet, since Patrick Sharp is out of the line-up (Injury vs. Detroit) for 3-4 weeks with an upper body injury. That's certainly a big gun to have out of the lineup. 40 pts /42games. So far, his best career start. I thought Sharpie was on the pace for 90 before the skid started. Well, He'll be happy with  60 now.
Hawks recalled Ben Smith to only see Benny shove in a backhander. Good to see Ben get his 2nd of the season. I like Ben Smith. Actually Smith, Shaw and Hayes ALL played well since being called up. Very nice to see!
Now,...the fourth leading GOAL scorer on the team is Viktor Stalberg with his 10,11,12th goals of the season surpassing Patrick Kane at 10.  Here is the box score from tonights game as well as the top players of the Hawks.
