Chicago Blackhawks (3-2-3) @ Minnesota Wild (5-0-1)

Chicago TV: Versus
Chicago Radio: WGN (720 AM)

The Hawks are going to be looking to bounce back tonight from a tough 6-5 shootout loss on Saturday against the Red Wings. This team has yet to win a game on the road, and I think now would be a perfect time to get that first victory out of the way.

Cam Barker is back with the Blackhawks, while Niklas Hjalmarsson and Jordan Hendry have been sent back to Rockford. Good move, as Barker deserved to make the team out of training camp anyways. Hopefully he gets a good chance up here and maybe even some power play time if possible.

Unless he's improved.............

………..DRAMATICALLY from last year, there is no reason for Cam Barker to be wearing a Blackhawks sweater.

Probably shouldn't ship Khabby

until Huet gets his act together.

I Agree

Khabby is really showing that he should be the #1 goaltender…. I mean Huet is letting some soft goals by him, and the team doesn’t need that right now.

The return...

of Cam Barker just gives opposing forwards a slightly larger pylon to skate around than Hendry was so….yay? And I don’t know about the rest of you but I am really starting to despise the Wild.

Rumor has it....

That the Hawks are interested in Marion Gaborik. Despite being on the Wild he’s a really good player and young but still has experience. I wouldn’t mind seeing him in a Hawks sweater but with Khabby playing well right now I don’t know what we’d have to offer back.
