BLACKHAWKS 4 WILD 2 F...The INDIAN Head follows that Masterpiece in the "BLUE PAINT" by CRAW-DAD and the HAWKS "Skate with the Wild" and "Beat the Wild" in the "Big ENERGY Bolt" the XCEL Energy Center!..."FROZEN TALK" 1901 West Madison HAWKS Win! HAWKS Win! HAWKS Win! #CHIvsMIN #OneGoal #FearTheINDIANHead #SkatingWithTheWILD

The Hawks followed the work of one net minder Corey Crawford as he stymies the Wild Offense stopping 42 of 44 SOG. Going 360 Degrees "Craw-Dad" inn 26 starts in the 2014-15 season has allowed two goals or fewer in 17 of those 26 starts and that is getting it done.

The Hawks skate to a 4-02 win as Patrick Sharp started the Indian Head scoring by getting a wrister by Wild net minder Niklas Backstrom (16/19 svs). Then the "Bison City Mullet" Patrick Kane late in the 1st gets a wrister by Backstrom for his 20th goal of the season making it 2-0 Hawks on the Indian Head power play.

Jason Zucker got the Wild on the board scoring just a little over a minute in the 2nd making it 2-1 Hawks as that would be the only goal in the 2nd. Just over six minutes into the 3rd Bryan Bickell "lights the Lamp" making it 3-1 Hawks only for the Wild's Jason Pominville with just over five minutes remaining scoring make it 3-2 Hawks.

"Bicks" though with the Wild skating with an extra man late in the 3rd scores on an empty net for his 2nd on the night and a Hawks win 4-2. The Wild out shot the Hawks 44-20 with both teams scoring once on the power play.

The Hawks move to 27-12-2 with 56 points tied with the "Preds" for 1st in the central. The Wild falls to 18-15-5 with 41 points good for 6th in the central.

The Indian Head will get #HereComeTheOilers on the 2nd leg of back to back out of the motel on Friday January 9th.
