It was a game of milestones last night for Chicago. Duncan Keith scored his 400th NHL point. Patrick Kane took sole possession of second place in the league after a two goal, three point night, and Patrick Sharp matched his career high of four assists, last achieved in November 2013. The Ducks never stood a chance.

After a one sided win against Arizona, the Blackhawks got into Pittsburgh early yesterday morning to play the Penguins. Last time they had to travel during a back to back, they lost 5-2  to the Oilers. This time, they got an early lead, before giving up a couple of goals, and holding off a motivated Pittsburgh team through a furiously paced overtime period. Crawford shut the door in the shootout to give the Blackhawks back to back wins heading into the weekend break.

It's been a while since the Blackhawks had such an offensively dominant game. The last occasion would probably be the first meeting with Edmonton, a 7-1 rout that left the Oilers scrambling. This was more of the same, with six different Blackhawks registering at least two points in their first meeting this season against the Coyotes.

Last night's game was frustrating. Another loss where the Blackhawks outshot their opponent massively, but none of the bounces were going their way. Three third period Dallas goals, including the empty netter and a power play tally put Chicago away for good, and gave them their second loss in a row.

Last night the Blackhawks went out feeling like they had something to prove. After a disappointing loss to the Oilers on Friday and a lucky win against Minnesota, they wanted to break this mini-slump, and they succeeded.
