The first game for the Chicago Blackhawks on the circus trip was a forgettable one for sure. They made a stop to Jonathan Toews hometown of Winnipeg, and when they left Winnipeg they were soundly defeated by a score of 4-0.
The one thing about the Chicago Blackhawks is that no matter what happens on the road, they are one strong team on home ice. They are sporting a very nice 10-1-2 home ice record which is the second best in the Western Conference trailing only the St. Louis Blues 11-1-2 record.
This is the kind of matchup that says the Hawks should dominate, because no matter how the Jets play on home ice in Winnipeg, they are very dreadful on the road holding a 3-8-2 record away from the MTS Centre.
