With a 10-day, six-game road trip staring them in the face, the Blackhawks took care of business at home over the last week.
The Hawks went four-for-four on the homestand and will head to Calgary to face the Flames on Thursday night for the start of the annual circus trip. They also will make stops in Edmonton and Vancouver before hitting California, where they will take on San Jose, Anaheim and Los Angeles before finally heading home. The Hawks took today off and return to practice Tuesday morning.
"It was a great week for us," captain Jonathan Toews said. "We wanted to finish off hard and we did. We'll take advantage of the next couple of games and regroup and get ready for a differrent style that's going to be on the road so we'll be ready for it."
The Hawks went 3-2-1 during last year's circus trip and that helped serve as a springboard to a strong season.
"Last year we took it game by game and didn't look too far ahead and we want to go with that attitude again this year," Toews said. "We can be excited about the challenge. It's fun to go and play tough games in tough buildings on the road. It's still early on in the year. It's going to build some character and we're still coming together as a team. We have a long way to go and we want to keep getting better."
The Hawks capped their home stretch with a 4-3 overtime victory over the Sharks on Sunday night for their seventh consecutive home win. Overall, they've won four in a row and are 12-5-2 on the season. Away from home, they're 2-3-1.
"We like playing at gome," coach Joel Quenneville said. "The crowd and the excitement in the building is certainly an edge for us.
"(Now) we're looking at six really good teams in our conference that we're going to be facing at their home. It gives us a little momentum. Now I'm concerned about making something out of the road trip."
