The Chicago Blackhawks just finished a six-game road trip with a bang! The 5-1 win over the Red Wings on Sunday afternoon gave them three straight wins to end the trip. They come home with a 3-2-1 mark on the trip.
When you consider the first game of the trip was the first — and, still, the only — bad loss the Blackhawks have suffered this season (6-3 in Winnipeg), closing the trip the way they did is extremely impressive.
A couple noteworthy team stats:
The Blackhawks scored 15 goals in the third period on the trip; that’s the most in the NHL since Oct. 30. More importantly, the Blackhawks allowed only five goals in the third period on the trip. Being plus-nine in the third period and overtime against that list of opponents is excellent. The Blackhawks converted 42.9 percent of their power plays on the road trip. Some of that has come from the coaches changing the personnel to have Artyom Levshunov on the top unit. The Blackhawks were 3-for-3 on the power play in Detroit without Frank Nazar in the lineup.There were some standout individual performances on the trip from all over the roster. Here are some notable players who come home hot.
