Blackhawks advance with 4-3 victory over Wild
Blackhawks winger Bryan Bickell talks about the team's strong starts in its series against the Wild.ST. PAUL, Minn. -- When the Blackhawks played the Predators, more often than not, the Hawks were starting from behind. The Predators scored the first goal four of six times in that series, forcing the Hawks to play catchup.
But one of the reasons the Hawks are ahead 3-0 in their series against the Wild has been better starts to games. In all three games, the Hawks have scored the first goal.
It's something the Hawks have worked on improving since the first round of the playoffs.
