Head coach Denis Savard shuffled his forward lines for the Blackhawks' West Coast trip with the intent of bringing balance to his team. The result of the first of three games in four nights was about as uneven as a game can get as the Hawks fell 9-2 to...

A sign above one of the doors that opponents use to enter the Pepsi Center reminds them the altitude in the Mile High City is 5,280 feet. The Blackhawks left Denver flying high of their own accord after they defeated the Colorado Avalanche 2-1 Friday...
