Blackhawks do well with new roster

The Chicago Blackhawks made some substantial roster additions over the weekend.

Gaining Christian Ehrhoff, LA Kings; Thomas Fleischmann, Montreal Canadiens; Dale Weise, Montreal Canadiens; and Andrew Ladd, Winnipeg Jets; who played on the 2010 championship team.

In trade the Blackhawks gave up Marko Dano, Philip Danault, and Rob Scuderi, along with a handful of draft picks.

These recent acquirements played off very well Sunday morning with the Blackhawks looking like their former selves, playing very strongly throughout the game against the Capitals.

Despite the Capitals scoring first, the Hawks never faltered, putting up three consecutive goals to solidify their lead.
