VS. SAN JOSE

Chicago and San Jose met on Nov. 28 for their first matchup since the Blackhawks defeated the Sharks 6-2 at the United Center on March 11, 2020, the final game before the 2019-20 season was cut short. Alex DeBrincat paced the club with three points (3A) that evening while Patrick Kane (2G) and Jonathan Toews (2A) also recorded multi-point games in the victory.
DeBrincat has a point (4G, 8A) in eight of nine games against San Jose. Dominik Kubalik scored his first career NHL goal against the Sharks on Oct. 10, 2019.

RAD MAN

Taylor Raddysh picked up his second multi-point effort as a member of the Blackhawks with a goal and an assist on Tuesday night. He also added a career-high eight hits against the Kings. His previous career high of five hits is a figure he recorded on two occasions (March 19 at MIN and March 24 at LAK). He has notched three or more hits in six of his 12 games with Chicago.
Since he was acquired by Chicago on March 18, Raddysh shares sixth among league rookies with seven points (3G, 4A) and shares fifth on the Blackhawks over that stretch.

HIT ME WITH YOUR BEST SHOT

The Blackhawks logged 42 hits against Los Angeles - their second highest total of the season. The Blackhawks racked up a franchise-record 46 hits on March 26 in Vegas. Chicago's previous single-game high was 45 hits which they logged on Oct. 27, 2019, also against the Kings.
Four Chicago skaters finished with five or more hits on Tuesday. Reese Johnson is second in the league averaging 23.3 hits per 60 minutes during the 2021-22 campaign (min. 20 games).
