It’s hard to believe it’s taken this long, but the Blackhawks and Coyotes will meet at the United Center on Monday for the first time since their Nov. 25 trade when Brendan Perlini and Dylan Strome were sent to Chicago and Nick Schmaltz was shipped to Arizona.
And looking back on the move, it appears to be working out just fine for both sides.
Strome has 40 points (14 goals, 26 assists) in 44 games with the Blackhawks; he had 16 points (seven goals, nine assists) in 48 career games with the Coyotes. He's becoming the player the Coyotes thought they were getting when they took him No.
