NOTES: Riding a 4-game win streak compiled in home games versus lesser (or hobbled) competition, things get very real for the Blackhawks tonight versus a tough, stingy Caps team. Brent Seabrook was absent from the Hawks' most recent practice but he is allegedly good to go tonight.
I will recap tomorrow.
