Jonathan Toews and Duncan Keith were among the first six NHL players chosen by the fans for the NHL's All-Star game. The NHL will announce the rest of the All-Star roster on January 11th.
If the NHL regular season were to end today, the defending Stanley Cup champions would be sitting at home watching the playoffs on TV.
Jonathan Toews scored the winning goal off his own skate at 14:33 of the third period, giving the Chicago Blackhawks a 4-3 victory over the Los Angeles Kings.
The Blackhawks have struggled all season long. Despite battling injuries, dealing with a new roster and poor play, the Blackhawks are still in the playoff hunt. But time might not be on their side.
Blackhawks' captain Jonathon Toews was expected to miss two weeks with a shoulder injury. But it appears as if the forward will return to the lineup over a week ahead of schedule.
The Blackhawks have been struggling since losing their captain, Jonathon Toews, to a shoulder injury. With about a week and a half until Toews' return, the Blackhawks need to start racking up wins.
The Blackhawks faced the Ducks Sunday and Anaheim kept the pressure on. The Ducks scored first and limited Chicago to just one goal, giving the Blackhawks their third straight loss.
The Blackhawks have faced plenty of adversity this season. Injuries and a new roster haven't made their title defense any easier than it would normally be.
For each goal scored, the opposing team scored another. The Blackhawks scored twice in the second period within the final 23 seconds to keep the game tied, but were unable to break through San Jose's defenses during the third period. After facing each other three times this season, the Blackhawks have lost each time.
The Chicago Blackhawks have extended the contracts of TV play-by-play broadcaster Pat Foley and analyst Eddie Olczyk for three more years.
