The circus trip is over, and the Blackhawks should be satisfied. They got through it just fine despite getting only one point out of the last two games.

Now the Hawks have a nice December ahead, with 10 of 15 games on home ice. They need to take advantage of that because travel abounds in January and February before the NHL breaks for the Winter Olympics in Vancouver.

For the Hawks, the circus trip—an annual two-week challenge when a circus takes over the United Center—was an unqualified success. The Hawks took nine of a possible 12 points en route to finishing the six games with a 4-1-1 record.

For historical purposes, last year's Hawks were 3-2-1 on the circus trip before making their surprise run to the Western Conference final.]]> Sun, 29 Nov 2009 01:43:40 PST nhl urn:newsml:sports.yahoo,sportsxchange:20080101:nhl,article,teamreports-2009-nhl-chi:1 AP Kings beat Blackhawks 2-1 in shootout (AP) Chicago Blackhawks' players including Andrew Ladd(notes) (16) and Colin Fraser(notes) (46) leave the game after losing to the Los Angeles Kings in a shootout during their NHL hockey game in Los Angeles on Saturday, Nov. 28, 2009. The Kings won 2-1 in a shootout.

All season long, the Los Angeles Kings have been making the kind of strides that befit a team with playoff aspirations. A solid defensive effort against the high-scoring Chicago Blackhawks was another significant step. Anze Kopitar and Jack Johnson scored in the first two rounds of a shootout and Jonathan Quick stopped both Chicago attempts, leading the Kings to a 2-1 victory Saturday night.

Good teams have been bringing out the best in the Anaheim Ducks. The Chicago Blackhawks certainly did Friday.
