Hawks – Kings Recap

Hawks – Flyers Recap

Hawks – Jets Recap

The Blackhawks went 1-2 on the week, losing to Los Angeles and Philadelphia at home and defeating Winnipeg on the road.

Notes

Forwards: Fleischmann had another good week. Hopefully, Bowman will be able to keep him around. The Q’s-an-art was on full blast this week, as Toews and Kane saw time together with Fleischmann and then Ladd. Putting those two on the same line really isn’t a good idea in the long run, though, so some other guys are going to have to step up.

Defensemen: Bad against L.A. Not good against Philadelphia. Quite good in Winnipeg. Rozsival has played well enough to be considered a decent #5 guy. Seabrook was better.

Goalies: Crawford was awful against the Kings. Darling was fine against the Flyers in a losing effort, and then brilliant against the Jets. Crawford is day-to-day with an upper body injury, so the team recalled Michael Leighton from Rockford.

Blackhawks 3 stars of the week:

★★★ Tomas Fleischmann, LW (1 G)

★★ Scott Darling, G (.947 SV%, 1. 53 GAA, 1 SO)

★ Marian Hossa, RW (2 G)
