The thing that stood out to me the most about the Chicago Blackhawks victory on Thursday night was that they finally got consistent depth scoring especially early on in the contest.
The first goal of the game came from a nice 2 on 1 from Patrick Sharp to Vinnie Hinostroza. Vinnie’s speed is very evident, and if the Hawks want to continue to win on a regular basis, they need to get production from the third and fourth lines.
