In the past, it seems like the Chicago Blackhawks have struggled coming off extended breaks. The results this year are split; after a three-day break in early October, the Blackhawks were stuffed 5-2 by the St. Louis Blues, while Chicago posted a 3-0 win over Philadelphia after a three-day rest in the end of October.
It’s a little bit of deja vu, then, that the Blackhawks will visit the Flyers tonight after another three-day respite. The Flyers, for their money, haven’t played much of late either. They’re on a four-day break and coming off a one-goal loss to Colorado.
