The Blackhawks' past, present and likely future captains were in the United Center last night.

What can likely future Blackhawks captain Bedard learn from Toews’ legendary run?
Jonathan Toews became Blackhawks captain at 20. Connor Bedard might follow in his footsteps at much the same age.

Blackhawks winger Landon Slaggert is 2nd only to Tyler Bertuzzi in creating scoring chances over the last 6 games. Slaggert's arguably playing his best in the NHL to date. He knows the next step has to be finishing those chances.
