Chicago has a 12-4-1 record since their embarrassing 9-2 loss to Edmonton. "We've definitely played better hockey since that game," Patrick Sharp said. "It's something we'll remember. You never want to be beat that bad. Maybe it was a wake-up call." Aside for Corey Crawford's early season struggles, things have gone great for Chicago in nearly every respect. They're currently leading the NHL with 52 points in 38 games and have a three point lead over Detroit in the ultra competitive Central Division. Barring a rash of injuries, Chicago should be able to maintain their current level of play in the second half. (Source: Chicago Tribune)
