With the annual Circus Trip now in the rearview mirror, the Hawks will get a brief two games back on West Madison before heading out east for another four game trip. And there will be no respite in coming off of two victories against Pacific contenders in the forms of the Ducks and Kings, as the Hawks face a Blues squad in their usual December slot just ahead of the Hawks in the Central Division standings.

However, it’s unlikely that anyone had this series pegged for the first round, including these two teams themselves.
