Three game week for the Blackhawks going 3-0-0. The hawks beat Colorado in a shoot out (4-3), Eastern Conference leader New Jersey (7-0) and Western conference leader Phoenix (3-1).
Player: Claude Giroux - 3GP, 3G+2A=5PTS, +3, 10 shots, 4 hits, 22:00 minutes per game, 1X 3rd star. Giroux always gets the tough minute against the other teams' number 1 lines. If he ends the night with a positive +/-, it is almost always a positive outcome for the Blackhawks.
Defenseman: Dan Boyle - 2GP, 2G+3A=5PTS, +5, 12 shots, 3 blocked shots, 3 take aways, 27.37 minutes per game, 1st first star. Over 2 points per game, having to take a game off due to fatigue. Leader from the backline.
Goalie: Roberto Luongo - 3GP, 3 wins, 0.957 save %, 1.33 Goals Against Average, 1st StarX1, 2nd StarX1. The workhorse puts the team on his back against the top teams in the CPHL. A shut-out and 1 goal allowed vs the two best teams in the league.
Rookie: Quinton Howden (60 OV) - 3GP, 2G+0A=2PTS, +3, 6 shots, GWG, 7.24 minutes per game. The rookie steps up and scores his first two goals of the season in limited time on the ice.
Unsung (67OV or lower - 75OV for goalies): Quinton Howden (60 OV) - 3GP, 2G+0A=2PTS, +3, 6 shots, GWG. The rookie gets a couple key goals to kick start the team vs the Devils. The third line hasn't produced a lot, but Howden has been solid in limited time.
