from Tim Sassone of the Chicago Daily-Herald,
The Hawks set a record for the 82-year-old franchise Sunday night with their ninth consecutive victory, a tidy 4-1 decision over the Minnesota Wild at Xcel Energy Center.
“I kind of feel like the Boston Celtics a little,” captain Jonathan Toews said.
It might be more appropriate for the Hawks to feel like the Detroit Red Wings, whom they now trail by only 4 points in the Central Division.
Next up: back-to-back games with the defending Stanley Cup champs, including Thursday’s Winter Classic at Wrigley Field.
“I think we can win every night,” said Dustin Byfuglien, whose 2 first-period goals got the Hawks off to a fast start. “We’ve got the group of guys and the work ethic to go out and beat any team we want to beat.”
