The Blackhawks’ Canadian tour continues on Thursday night with another Original Six matchup, as the Montreal Canadiens are this evening’s opponent.

The Canadiens most recent game was a 4-1 loss to the Flyers on Tuesday night, so heavy legs shouldn’t be...

The Wild, who are third in the league in points, have Joel Eriksson Ek, Danila Yurov, Ryan Hartman, and Nico Sturm down the middle. Yurov, in particular, is...
