2012-13

After two relatively embarrassing first round exits in a row, the Chicago Blackhawks entered the lockout-shortened 2012-13 eager to prove they were still an elite team.

They made a statement on opening night, defeating the defending Stanley Cup Champion Los Angeles Kings 5-2.

The win was the beginning of a historic streak of 24 games without a regulation loss for the Hawks which propelled them to their second Stanley Cup in four years.
