The Chicago Blackhawks get back to business as they ends that weird two-game motel swing where they lost in the Music City to the new Preds and to the rival "Hockey near the Muddy Mississippi" the Blue Notes of the 'Lou!

Behind a Captain Serious score at the beginning of the 2nd frame and a Brent "Brooksie" Seabrook power play goal the Hawks beat the Sens 2-1. It was the coming out party for Lemont, Illinois native Scott Darling stopped 32 of 33 shots on goal to get his 1st professional win.

Darling gave up a short-handed goal in the 2nd to Ottawa's Milan Michalek to tie the game at 1-1 before "Brooksie" scores on the power play. It was a game littered with penalties as there were13 and the Indian Head had five of those 13. The Hawks and I keep saying it must be better on the power play with eight chances going 1 for 6.

Sens net minder Craig Anderson stopped 43 pf 45 shots as his busiest frame was in the 1st and 2nd where he faced 17 shots in each period. Darling faces on onslaught in frame three as the Sens hit him with 16 shots.

The Indian Head moves to 5-2-1 with 11 points and that is good for 2nd in the central a point behind Nashville. The Sens moves to 4-2-1 with 9 points and they are 3rd in the Atlantic.
