Don’t look now, but the Blackhawks have won three straight and are actually looking like a team that wants to play hockey. There is just a lot of talent on this Blackhawks team that it was hard to watch them struggle but now they’re looking like they’re showing signs of life which isn’t good news for a Kraken team that may be at home, but can’t seem to get out of their own way. Look for the Blackhawks to get their first road win of the year and keep their streak going with a W here.
