About The Chicago Blackhawks
The Hawks are also second in the league in defense with a team goals-against average of just 2.23, thanks in part to the better then expected play of goaltenders Cristobal Huet (23-9-3, 2.25 GAA, .904 save %, 4 shutouts) and backup Antti Niemi (13-4-1, 1.99 GAA, .918 save %, 4 shutouts). This duo is amongst the best goalie tandems in the league, with Niemi ranked 1st in the NHL in goals against average (Huet is 6th), while Huet is tied for 9th in the league with his 23 wins.
To bolster the newly found success in Chicago, besides having Marian Hossa locked up for 12 years, the Blackhawks have also agreed to terms with defenseman Duncan Keith on a 13-year contract extension, and with both Patrick Kane and captain Jonathan Toews on five-year deals. This is a team that seems to be doing most everything right these days, and keeping this foundation in place should make it possible for that to continue.
It is Patrick Kane who leads Chicago in all scoring categories with 59 points, 21 goals, and 38 assists, which also ranks him 6th, 17th, and 8th respectively in the NHL. In addition to Kane, defenseman Duncan Keith (48 points, 37 assists), center and captain Jonathan Toews (43 points, 25 assists), and center Patrick Sharp (41 points, 25 assists) have provided a wide range of scoring opportunities, while the late start of Hossa in November (due to shoulder surgery) brought a very welcome scoring addition as well, as the right-winger has contributed 14 goals and 13 assists in the 30 games since his return.
Threatening to slow Chicago’s momentum, the team is currently six games into a grueling 15-day, eight-game road trip (4-2 record), with the Olympic break not too far behind. With credit given to the incredible mix of just the right amount of talented veterans and youthful exuberance, this team has consistently found ways to adapt to almost any situation and style of play. This Chicago Blackhawks team is talented and having fun while remaining at the top of the NHL, so get your tickets now and get in on all the Hawks hoopla.
The Blackhawks finished in second place in their division’s 2008-09 regular season, with a record of 46-24-12 – putting them in fourth place in the Western Division Conference with 104 points. The sales of Chicago Blackhawks tickets increased by a reasonable percentage. They welcomed their one millionth ticket holder before game 6 of the Conference Semi-Finals on May 11th 2009.
