NOTES:
The Blackhawks broke a three game losing steak Thursday night in Phoenix, pulling out a 4-3 win over the Coyotes that was in count until the very end of the game.
Dlalas has been playing better of late and getting healthier. This was a team that gave the Hawks some problems the last couple of seasons, and the last thing the Balckhawks need i to enable another contender down the stretch in the Central Divisison.
So there should be a lot of motivation for the Hawks to play well and win tonight. Remains to be seen if they can deliver.
I'll recap in the AM.
