After a mostly frustrating season, the defending Stanley Cup champs are playing as though they think they can win it again, and their recent play indicates they aren't going down without a fight. Jonathan Toews, who's been the catalyst for the Blackhawks resurgence this month, continued his torrid pace. He and Patrick Sharp each scored in the second period. Toews has four goals in his last six games and 23 points in his last 14 games. more ›

The Chicago Blackhawks were supposed to open their season tonight against the Minnesota Wild, but the season remains on hold due to the owners' lock-out of the players. The owners voted to lock out the players until a new collective bargaining agreement could be hammered out between the clubs and the players association.
