Sidney Brown provides dispatches from the front lines of Blackhawks fandom every week during the hockey season.

Patrick Kane’s hot scoring streak is currently at 20 games and the numbers coming from it are producing more combinations than the lottery.

Kane’s performance so far this season ranks among the all-time greats to ever play the game of hockey. The word DOMINANCE is too obvious to use in describing Kaner’s outburst on the ice.

Let’s take a closer look at the numbers and no matter how you’ve followed him so far you may be surprised at how great he’s been and it’s scary that this current streak can go into another stratosphere for the best player in the NHL.

The Streak: 48 Days and 20 Games

December Preview

As the last month of 2015 commences, the Hawks will be very happy to return home to the United Center where they will have a total of nine games upcoming, the slate includes the Winnipeg Jets twice, Colorado Avalanche, Nashville Predators and San Jose Sharks. In their six road games this month the opponents will not be a walk in the park either, with the Dallas Stars, Nashville Predators, Colorado Avalanche and Buffalo Sabres welcoming Chicago.

As a team still in search of an identity, there’s a much needed opportunity to make up ground in the Central Division and once again develop a killer instinct on home ice. As usual, when the stakes are high and better competition comes calling, the Hawks rise to the occasion.

Peaking in the middle of the pack in the Western Conference standings and with the roster healthy, it’s time for the men in red to make their mark establishing themselves as a championship contender and put fear back into opponents heads.  Two key stats to keep your eyes on for the month of December, penalty kill percentage ranked 16th in the NHL in goals per game, ranking 12th.

If the Hawks want to have a successful month to end the calendar year, the rankings of these two categories must improve to better standards.

Giving Props

To Hawks coach Joel Quenneville for coaching in his 1,400 career regular season game in the NHL on Tuesday.  Quenneville looks more and more like a lock for the Hockey Hall of Fame, not only for his 3 Stanley Cups as a head man but for his placement in this elite class of longevity.
