The Blackhawks return from the Olympic break on Thurdsay night, kicking off a four-game road trip with a stop in Nashville to face the Predators. These two teams met about six weeks ago at the same place, with Chicago winning 3-0 thanks to an incredible effort from rookie goalie Drew Commesso, who twirled a 36-save shutout in net while much of the Blackhawks roster was exhausted from either playing a second game in as many nights or from whatever illness was running rampant in the locker ...
