The Blackhawks host the Senators — a team people should want to win because the Avalanche hold the rights to Ottawa’s first-round pick — Monday night at the United Center.
The IceHogs won their eighth game in their last 10 games with a 5-2 win over the Rampage on Sunday in Rockford.
#Blackhawks prospect Adam Boqvist scored a power-play goal and two assists in London’s 8-5 win over Erie. He has three goals and four assists in his last four games. His 47 points (16 goals, 31 assists) in 42 games are seventh among OHL defensemen. https://t.co/dAbOF5IvEU
