Spencer Knight earned his 2nd shoutout of the season and 7th in his career. He saved 21 shots, tied for the 2nd-fewest shots he's seen this season.

It was a great bounce back for him after allowing 6 goals on Saturday. But the Hawks goalie calmly dismissed the idea.

The Blackhawks cruise past the Rangers, 3-0.

Goals by Crevier, Bedard and Bertuzzi, while Spencer Knight gets his seventh shoutout of his career.

That may have been the most complete game the Hawks played all year, foot on the gas from start to finish

The Blackhawks and Rangers are scoreless after the first period.

The Hawks had their chances, but Shesterkin is locked in tonight. (Shots: 10-6, Chicago)

The Hawks won 4/5 faceoffs to start, then proceeded to lose the next 10.

It’s Jeff Blashill's birthday, a fact that I feel bad about discovering five minutes ago

We'll see if the Blackhawks give him a W as a gift

Sam Rinzel’s season hasn’t gone the way the Blackhawks hoped.

His Rockford assignment may have come as a shock due to his preseason hype.

But HC Jeff Blashill knows what he has in Rinzel and made it simple: “Go and get your swagger with the puck back.”
