The Chicago Blackhawks have been on a very big slump losing 6 of there last 9 games. Last night the blackhawks fell the the Minnesota Wild by a score of 4-1. Also on top of that, blackhawks top defenseman Duncan Keith was penalized and ejected and suspended for slashing the Wild's left winger Charlie Coyle in the face. The NHL has suspended Keith for a minimum of 1 game without pay. The Blackhawks will be playing the Winnipeg Jets tonight in Winnipeg. The Jets have lost only 3 games out of 7 and lost last night to the Ottawa Senators 2-1. The Blackhawks are also dealing with the injury of Goalie Corey Crawford. Crawford has a head injury which doctors are relating to a head contusion. Scott Darling will be in the net for the hawks tonight and for Winnipeg will have their star goalie Ondrej Pavelec. Getting back to Keith's suspension he will be fined at least $15,000 according to NHL's president Gary Bettman. Hopefully the hawks can get a W and get on a winning streak!
