The Chicago Blackhawks wrap up their two-game road trip against the Vegas Golden Knights on Saturday night. It’s going to be a late one — a 9 p.m. CT puck drop — but maybe the Hawks can build off of their two-game win streak?
That may be unlikely given that the Golden Knights have no issues steamrolling weaker teams. Vegas has, however, failed to find success in beating playoff-caliber opponents. Since November, Vegas has only won six games against teams in a playoff spot (as of this writ...
