About this Article

A sellout crowd of 21,455 greeted the Hawks in their first home game following the three-month lockout. “We’re happy to get the win for our fans,” Jonathan Toews said. “It’s just amazing to see their support out there. They’ve been waiting a long time to see their team play. To go out there and work like we did against a strong team like St. Louis was a good way to come back and kick-start the season.”
