1961: Glenn Hall Ties Goalie Ironman Record

On January 24, 1960, Blackhawks' netminder Glenn Hall appeared in his 328th straight game, tying a record for NHL goalies.

Hall made 33 saves on 36 shots but unfortunately picked up a loss as the Montreal Canadiens defeated the Blackhawks 3-2. However, Hall's display of durability deserves recognition.

2013: Marian Hossa Plays Overtime Hero

On January 24, 2013, the Blackhawks improved to 4-0 on the season with an overtime win over the Dallas Stars.

The Stars jumped out to a 2-0 lead thanks to goals from Loui Eriksson and Ray Whitney. Patrick Sharp and Jonathan Toews lit the lamp to even things up, but the game required extra time.

At the 1:41 mark of overtime, Patrick Kane fed a pretty backhand pass to Marian Hossa, who fired home the game-winning goal.
