A unnerving note from the other night...
The Chicago Blackhawks, when facing off against division leaders this season, do not fare well.
4-5-5...four wins...five losses...five overtime losses.
Currently, the division leaders are as follows.
The Detroit Red Wings, the San Jose Sharks, and the Calgary Flames from the Western Conference. From the Eastern Conference, it's the New Jersey Devils, the Boston Bruins, and the Washington Capitals.
Here's a closer look at the exact head-to-head numbers.
Detroit Red Wings: 0-2-2
San Jose Sharks: 1-2-1 (they beat the Sharks for the first time in six attempts, and the first time since 2003 on Saturday night.)
Calgary Flames: 3-0-0
Boston Bruins: 0-0-1
Washington Capitals: 0-1-0
New Jersey Devils: 0-0-0
With seven games remaining against the current division leaders (and if history has anything to say about it, the current divison leaders will finish the season that way), there is ample oppurtunity to improve on these numbers.
The Hawks will play the Sharks one last time, two more games at the end of the season against the Wings, one more against Calgary, two against New Jersey, and one more matchup with the Boston Bruins. Highlight these games on the schedule.
