The Blackhawks are rolling, winners of three straight under interim head coach Derek King following a 2-1 win over Arizona on Friday night at the United Center.
Alex DeBrincat and Dylan Strome scored the tallies on the night to close out the homestead with a perfect record, while Marc-Andre Fleury made 22 stops in his second straight win.
"A lot better. Winning a couple games will do that to you," Jonathan Toews said of the team's mood overall. "Just overall, guys feel more relaxed, having fun... Just going out there that we know what to do on the ice and just play the games."
"I think everyone feels better," Strome added. "As a team, we're playing more loose, playing for each other a bit more and I think it's showing out there. Had the crowd back into it three games in a row now, so it feels good. I think everyone's having fun right now."
