Following two consecutive strong performances, the Chicago Blackhawks have built some momentum heading into their longest trip of the season.

They'll kick off the six-game western trek looking for a third consecutive victory Wednesday night against the Edmonton Oilers.

With Patrick Kane still on an offensive tear and veteran defensemen Duncan Keith and Michael Rozsival back on the ice, Chicago (10-7-1) won 4-2 at St. Louis on Saturday, then 4-1 over Calgary a night later.

"That was probably our best two games back-to-back, and the consistency that we always look for was right there,'' coach Joel Quenneville said. "We've got to play well on this road trip and prove we can play the same way."

The Blackhawks are 2-5-0 on the road and allow an average of 3.3 goals there - 1.4 more than at home - but head into their annual circus trip feeling confident. After snapping that five-game road skid Saturday, Chicago outshot the Flames 41-26.

"I think we're excited about that and hopefully carry it on to the road," said Keith, who has played almost 52 minutes in two games since missing 10 with a knee injury.

Kane has 10 goals and 12 assists during a 13-game point streak - one shy of matching his career-high run from 2013-14. He can also become the first Blackhawk to score a goal in eight consecutive contests since Joe Murphy's nine-game run in 1994-95.

''I think if you start worrying about that stuff, it's only going to go to your disadvantage,'' Kane said.

''We want to show up every game for our team and make sure we're doing our job, whether it's offensively or defensively.''

I'm feeling a 3 game streak here.

 

[No Fun Shogun]

Nice GDT!

Let's get the damn win and start this trip off right!

 

[Your Reality Check]

Daley gets a goal and an assist tonight. Book it.

 

[BobbyJet]

I think this team was in a bit of a flux after losing McDavid, hence I very much doubt we see the same pushover that Oilers were on Nov 08 at the UC. The same warning applies as last time however: don't play pond hockey against these guys! I'm sure Q is preaching the same thing.

thanks for the gdt!

Daley gets a goal and an assist tonight. Book it.

I really hope this happens so we can stop hearing that he isn't even as close to as talented as Oduya was when he arrived from some around here. I just want him to get going.

thanks for the gdt!

Thank you good sirs, I enjoy tossing these things together.

My only real hope for this game is that The Breadmaster and Buttery Pat focus on decimating the Oil D/G and not look for the cutesy pretty goals.

 

[Man Reay]

Ditto on the thanks and praise for the GDT.

I am eager to see what this year's model can do on the Circus Trip. Since the '09-'10 season they've never done worse than 3-3, and the last two seasons they've only lost one. I'd be happy with 4-2 this time around.

 

[Enyaw]

Lets Go Hawks

 

[TLEH]

Kane 2+2 tonight

[G0AT]

We need to get our road record back to .500. Go Hawks, get a road w!

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

I would like to see a strong 60 min effort resulting in a win

 

[DisgruntledHawkFan]

Hoping the Hawks demolish my fantasy team tonight if Talbot starts.

 

[Eco]

Sexy GDT there!

I'm feeling strangely confident about tonight's game. Hopefully we take this streak to 3!

 

[DisgruntledHawkFan]

What's strange about feeling confident in the defending champs against a team with a 6-12 record?

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Hoping the Hawks demolish my fantasy team tonight if Talbot starts.

How the hell did you end up with Talbot as your starter?

Was it a 30 team league or something and you picked near end of round

Or did you actually fall for the hype after playing in NY?

 

[DisgruntledHawkFan]

14 team league and some teams have three goalies. You're just reaching for starts at some point.

Ah

Only played fantasy hockey for one year and it was too much for me (Always constantly having to tinker with lineup/etc)

I played 3 years of fantasy football and it was much more enjoyable and easier to handle given NFL only plays on Thur/Sun/MOn

 

[CallMeShaft]

Who the hell decided to make this an 8:30 game? I've never liked these late starts.

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Hopefully Daley has a great game and someone watching convinces GM to trade for him
