Kane was interviewed following the game and was quoted saying, “[he and Richards] laughed about it the shift before…” The two offensive players have been have been playing on the same line recently, and have proven to be extremely successful.

Looking at the upcoming opponents the Blackhawks will be facing within the next two weeks, breaking their two game losing streak was an essential factor for increasing team morale. The ‘Hawks are currently ranked fourth in the Western Conference and looking prepared to take on Sidney Crosby and the Pittsburgh Penguins January 21st.
