Amazingly, the Hawks are now tied for 5th in the NHL in point differential (+23). Makes me feel a bit better about their level of success this year. Now is where it gets interesting. 10 of the next 11 games are on the road against. Hawks are currently .500 on the road (technically 10-8-2). The good news is that they play roughly half the games are against teams that aren't all that great. The toughest games will be the 3 against Nashville (1 at home), San Jose, the Rangers and Vancouver. The others are Edmonton, Calgary, Colorado, Phoenix, and Columbus
