NICK LEDDY RUMORS & GOSSIP

Oh Captain My Captain! CHI 2, PHX 1 (OT)

Jonathan Toews and Nick Leddy were able to turn the tide for the Blackhawks late in the game to keep them alive for at least another post-season game. Leddy in particular had a fantastic game by registering 5 shots on net, 3 hits, and a blocked shot to go along with his game tying goal and plus-2 rating. It was only a matter of time for him to find the net after taking multiple...

Video: Chicago Blackhawks defense falls apart in OT loss to Phoenix Coyotes

Why Nick Leddy is Struggling

Of the Hawks recent skid, the most noticeable wart has been their second defensive pairing. During these three games, and probably a little longer than that, Nick Leddy and Niklas Hjalmarsson have been just plain awful.

The Versus Game of the Week; Chicago at Pittsburgh

I saw the Blackhawks the other day, live when they were in St. Paul to play the Wild. I have to tell you, they are a team that I definitely don't mind seeing again.

Since taking over as general manager of the Chicago Blackhawks, Stan Bowman has worked his magic in the trade market.
