via Jesse Rogers of ESPN Chicago,
A Sunday away from the rink gives the Chicago Blackhawks a chance to catch their breath and fully examine Jonathan Toews, who left Saturday’s 5-2 loss against the Nashville Predators in the second period.
Best estimation is the injury isn’t serious since Toews didn’t leave after a big hit or collision. But then again, neither...

Until Nashville derailed them 5-2 on Saturday under circumstances that were trying at best, the Chicago Blackhawks had gone seven straight games without a regulation loss.
Coming off a 3-1 win over the Florida Panthers on Friday and then having to brave a snowstorm to arrive in the early morning hours in the Music City, the Blackhawks entered the day with the most points in the...

The Blackhawks just continue to fall victim to the injury bug.
Already without Patrick Sharp, the Hawks will also be without Jonathan Toews when they meet the Nashville Predators on Tuesday night. The Preds beat them handily on Saturday, and that was without Ryan Suter.

With TSN’s Bob Mackenzie breaking the news that Chicago Blackhawks forward (and arguably the most complete player in the game today) Jonathan Toews will officially miss the NHL All-Star game, there seem to be two obvious forwards who have thus far been “snubbed” of a spot in the event.
For the sake of keeping an unbiased opinion, I’ll keep the two player...

You don’t even need to look at the numbers to know that Corey Crawford is having a rough year.
After a spectacular rookie campaign, including a playoff series that he went all Tim Thomas on the Vancouver Canucks, Corey Crawford was rewarded with a new contract this summer to make him the franchise goaltender. Finally, some stability between the pipes. Right?
Not so right. In...

LEFTOVER THOUGHTS:
* Coming into the night, Chicago had won three straight.
* Saturday night was the first time Preds winger Brandon Yip has suited up for a team other than the Colorado Avalanche. He was claimed off of waivers by Nashville on Thursday afternoon.
