Blackhawks-Canucks Preview

(AP) -- The Chicago Blackhawks' yearly circus road trip is notoriously daunting. It hasn't phased the Blackhawks so far this time, but a visit to a building in which they traditionally struggle could change that.

The Central Division-leading Blackhawks will try to earn their third straight victory on the trip and extend their overall winning streak to seven games Sunday night when they face the Vancouver Canucks.

Chicago (14-5-2) endures an extended road trip every November, necessitated by the circus' annual two-week stint at the United Center. Last season, the team split the six-game swing (3-2-1) after accumulating a 6-22-4 record with three ties over the previous six years. (MORE)
