The snow squall that passed through the Windy City this morning didn’t stop the Chicago Blackhawks from getting some work in at the Fifth Third Arena. They are preparing for tomorrow night's game against the Calgary Flames, who lost 5-3 to the Columbus Blue Jackets last night.
The stomach virus that has ravaged the locker room over the past five days has not run its course just yet. Sam Lafferty didn’t take part in today’s practice as he is the latest, and hopefully last, Blackhawk to become ill this week. With very little time available for practice between now and the Olympic break, head coach Jeff Blashill used today for an intense practice featuring a lot of one-on-one drills.
