  • During the regular season, the Blackhawks’ Patrick Kane ranked fifth in the NHL with 55 points while receiving only eight penalty minutes, the lowest total among the league’s top 20 scorers.

    Kane finalist for Lady Byng Trophy May 16, 2013 12:00 AM

    Hawks’ Kruger embraces role as penalty killer May 16, 2013 12:00 AM
    Marcus Kruger’s stall is next to Jonathan Toews’ in the Blackhawks’ dressing room — and before every game the captain will lean over and give the kid some advice. “I sit next to Krugs in the locker room and every game I kind of get in his ear and just tell him shoot the puck or just go to the net and he’s going to get an ugly one,” Toews said. Kruger scored a goal in the Hawks’ 4-1 win against Detroit in Game 1, his second of the playoffs, putting him 2 up on the scoreless Toews. “Yesterday I told him the same thing: go to the net and get a dirty one,” Kruger said jokingly. It’s Kruger and Michael Frolik helping make the penalty kill a perfect 20-for-20 in the playoffs.
