Happiness and satisfaction have been scarce around the Hawks in recent years, so after finally rattling off three consecutive victories, they know to appreciate it while it lasts. Seth Jones’ return adds extra caffeine, too.

The Chicago Blackhawks always seem to be tied to a young player rumored to be available on the trade market. This must stop now.

Bedard’s 30.0% faceoff percentage is the worst in the NHL this season. Instead of moving him to wing, however, interim coach Anders Sorensen simply has his wingers — Nick Foligno and Ryan Donato at the moment — taking most draws for him.

There’s a new bench boss in Chicago, and the vibe around the Blackhawks is rapidly changing. Anders Sorensen took over for Luke Richardson on Dec.5, and while there’s certainly going to be a learning curve with someone new at the helm, Sorensen has the Blackhawks playing a more competitive brand of hockey.
