The Chicago Blackhawks took part in a practice at Fifth Third Bank Ice Arena in Chicago today before heading to Detroit to take on the Red Wings for their final two-game series of the season tomorrow. Prior to practice, however, the Blackhawks were offered the chance to get a COVID-19 Vaccine shot.
And several of them took it.

After practice, Blackhawks head coach Jeremy Colliton said “A good number” of players took the shot, but obviously couldn’t get into specifics.
Colliton on how many Blackhawks players opted to get the vaccine today: I think it s a good number that took it. I got it, so obviously I m in favor of it. Every single person that gets vaccinated is a step closer to getting back to normal both as a team and in public life.

PLAYOFF MENTALITY
In a normal year, early April would bring the do-or-die ups and downs of playoff hockey. And as it turns out, the case is much the same in the shortened campaign despite the calendar running through May. Kaner said before the game, Every game from here on out is a playoff game, new re-addition Vinnie Hinostroza said after the win. We have to approach it as such. It was the biggest game of the season so far and every game going forward is going to be like a playoff game for us, Lankinen added. I think we approached with that mentality and that showed tonight. We came in hard and I think we played really well. Definitely deserved the win.
