About this Article

When Blackhawks coach Joel Quenneville was putting together his forward combinations for the penalty killing unit, there was something about Michal Frolik and Marcus Kruger he liked. So far Quenneville's instincts have been right on. Frolik and Kruger were instrumental in Sunday's overtime win over Detroit, leading a 6-for-6 penalty killing charge as the Hawks won for a franchise record sixth straight time to start the season.
