Before last night the Blackhawks were unable to break through against their former goalie Antti Niemi and the San Jose Sharks. But the offensive firepower that's been a part of the team's resurgence the past month finally got to Niemi. Marian Hossa scored twice on power plays and Patrick Kane scored the 100th goal of his career as the Blackhawks doubled up the Sharks 6-3 at the united Center. In the process, the Hawks avoided a regular season sweep by San Jose and vaulted back into fourth place in the tightly packed Western Conference. The Blackhawks next face the Dallas Stars Thursday. more ›

Murphy's Law states that what can go wrong, will go wrong. The law of gravity states that what goes up must come down. Not to sound too much like Marty McFly, but it must get pretty heavy in Chicago as the Blackhawks can't seem to get out of this injury plagued funk, maintaining a healthy trend of injuries heading into 2011. more ›

In his first start between the pipes since Nov. 24 in San Jose, Blackhawks goaltender Marty Turco fell short in the 3-0 loss to the Canucks Friday night. The vet has had to sit back and watch rookie Corey Crawford dominate, winning his last five starts. Turco has fallen 2-6-1 with 29 shots on goal allowed in his past nine games. Crawford went 3-0 with a .907 save percentage during that five game span. Haven’t we seen this before? more ›

The Blackhawks got the Western Conference finals off to a good start in a wild, fast-paced Game One that the 'Hawks won 2-1. Betraying the large amount of time off each team had (the 'Hawks had four days off while the Sharks were off over a week), both teams came out firing, literally, as each topped 40 shots on goal (40 for the 'Hawks, 45 for the Sharks). After San Jose got a power-play goal halfway through the first, the 'Hawks responded with a second period goal from Patrick Sharp to equalize and with just under seven minutes left in the game, Dustin Byfuglien scored the game-winner for Chicago. But goaltender Antti Niemi was the real hero of Game One (or is that Antti-hero?), stopping a mind-blowing 44 shots out of 45 faced and helping the 'Hawks survive a last minute flurry in which a penalty resulted in a 6-on-4 advantage for San Jose in the closing minute. Niemi had several spells where he saved multiple shots from the San Jose offense in one go-round. more ›
