Notes
For the first time, we have a pope who watched Stan Mikita play.
The Blackhawks were a surprisingly successful team early in the season, but have since fallen off. They lost 6-2 last night in Pittsburgh.
Captain Nick Foligno was injured in that game and is a gametime decision tonight. He appeared as one of the former teammates congratulating Charlie Coyle via video before Wednesday’s game, and he drew a large cheer from the Columbus crowd.
