Blackhawks' D Awakening Lifts Soderblom to Seattle Win

Chicago's defense finally shows up in a big way, giving young netminder Arvid Soderblom the backing he desperately needs for his first win in what feels like forever. The Blackhawks have been leaky at the back all season, but this Seattle road trip reveals a unit that's clicking with some timely tweaks from the coaching staff. Front offices around the league take note, as this could signal the start of something for a rebuilding squad still hunting for identity.
