Blackhawks Downed By Ducks
After a good start to their Circus Trip, the Blackhawks have now dropped two straight as they fell to the Anaheim Ducks 1-0 yesterday. It was the first time all season that the Blackhaws have been held scoreless. Huet was able to stop 20 of 21 shots, allowing only a Ryan Getzlaf goal in the second period, but Ducks goalie Jonas Hiller stopped all 26 Chicago shots, including 15 in the second period. Rockford's Corey Crawford has been called up to back-up Huet as Khabibulin remains day-to-day after getting hurt in the game against San Jose earlier this week. The 'Hawks play tonight in L.A. and then they head home.
