The Chicago Blackhawks are 6-2-3 on the 2013-14 season and one thing that has not been consistent is their Defense and getting loose pucks out of their zone. There is a multitude of things to point to but they must start helping their Goalies.

Now they are on the back end of a Home and Home with the Minnesota Wild as the Wild came to the West Side of Chi City on Saturday Night and stunned the Champs 5-3. The Hawks had way too may penalties in that game on Saturday and the Frozen One was elusive in their zone and that cannot happen. Discipline is what the Hawks need to get back to and that blue-collar approach even though they are an Elite Skilled NHL Team centered around speed.

Hawks come in averaging 2.91 G and and giving up 2.73 GA and that is too close for comfort. The Wild on the other hand are 2.42 G and giving up 2.00 GA. Hawks Defensman Mike Kostka will be out 4-6 weeks with a Broken Foot. Both Teams come in with 15 points and chasing the red-hot Colorado Avalanche who are 10-1-0 with 20 points.

The Frozen One drops at 8pm ET at the Xcel Energy Center Tonight...  

Note: San Jose Sharks lead the West with 21 points but we have seen that before...
