(SportsNetwork. Air Max 97 Plus Femme Pas Cher .com) - The red-hot Chicago Blackhawks will try for a ninth consecutive win Saturday against the New York Islanders, but they may have to earn the road victory without the services of captain Jonathan Toews. Toews suffered an upper-body injury in the second period of Thursdays 3-2 win in Boston after going face-first into the end boards following a check from Bruins defenseman Dennis Seidenberg. Although Toews played on the ensuing 5- on-3 power play, he left the game after that and did not return. The star forward is questionable for tonights game, as Chicago has yet to reveal the nature or severity of the injury. The 26-year-old Toews does have a history of head injuries, missing time on three separate occasions due to concussions during his career. He was able to make the trip to Long Island for tonights game. Seidenberg was whistled for a minor penalty on the play, but will not face further discipline from the NHL. A two-goal first period and 32 saves from Scott Darling propelled Chicago to Thursdays triumph in Beantown. Ben Smith had one of Chicagos early goals and set up the other -- the first of Klas Dahlbecks NHL career -- while Darling outplayed reigning Vezina Trophy winner Tuukka Rask in the rookies sixth career start. Patrick Kane also tallied and Marcus Kruger recorded two assists for the Blackhawks, who hung on for the victory after leading 3-0. Chicago is on its longest winning streak since setting a franchise record with 11 consecutive wins from Feb. 15-March, 2013. With No. 1 netminder Corey Crawford sidelined with a foot injury, Darling is expected to make a fourth straight start in net tonight. The 25-year-old has never faced the Islanders. New York enters Saturday hoping to avoid its longest skid of what has been a surprisingly successful season so far. Prior to dropping the last three games, the Islanders had won 13 of their previous 15 outings. The Isles lost three in a row from Oct. 28-Nov. 1, but havent fallen in four straight since a five-game slide from Jan. 23-31 of last season. All three setbacks on New Yorks current skid have come in regulation and the Isles have surrendered a total of 17 goals during that stretch. The Isles also have tallied 11 goals of their own during the slide, but they clearly need to shore up things in their own end to get back on the right track. Two losses in this slide have come against the Blues, including a 6-3 setback in St. Louis on Thursday. Alexander Steen had two goals and one assist to help the Blues skate away with the victory. John Tavares and Mikhail Grabovski scored in the second period for the Islanders. Former Blues goaltender Jaroslav Halak allowed five goals on 32 shots. We didnt really grasp it. said Tavares. Sometimes we just have to make the plays a little quicker. New York is hoping to return to the win column tonight when it begins a stretch of four home tilts in five games. The Isles boast a 10-3-0 record at Nassau Coliseum and had won seven straight as the host before losing last Saturday against the Blues. Josh Bailey sat out Thursdays loss with a lower-body injury and the forward is questionable for the Isles tonight. Halak expects to start in net and he owns a 6-1-3 record and 2.07 goals against average in 11 career games against Chicago. The Blackhawks and Isles last met on Jan. 2 when New York halted a four-game slide in the series with an overtime win at the Coliseum. Chicago has lost four of its last five games on Long Island. Former Chicago defenseman Nick Leddy will face his old team for the first time on Saturday. Leddy was traded to the Isles right before the start of the 2014-15 season and has five goals and 14 points in 29 games for New York. Fausse Air Max 270 Femme .

While there is a lot that Sundin has liked in the tournament so far, the performance that Russia put forth against Finland in the quarterfinals left a bad taste in his mouth. "I was almost disgusted by their performance when they played Finland," said the 43-year-old who played 18 seasons in the NHL. "I look at the Finnish team and theyre missing key players. They dont have any of their big stars and now [Rask] is hurt and that Russian team is stacked with great players and to come out and have that performance they had in the quarterfinals. It was an absolutely heartless performance. "It was very disappointing and I dont think its very good for hockey either to have them out of their home tournament. You wonder when you have Putin in the stands on home ice and you cant get heart out of these guys? Whats going to bring it out? I dont know," he said. Sundin believes simply chalking up Russias crashing out of the tournament to the tremendous pressure the team was under is a bit of a cop-out. "Even though youre nervous or you have a lot of pressure built up, you can always still get into the motions and show that youre actually trying," said the former first-overall pick by the Quebec Nordiques in the 1989 NHL Entry Draft. "We didnt see anything of that in the quarterfinal." The captain of the gold medal-winning Swedish team in the 2006 Olympics in Torino, Sundin believes that its impossible to compare trying to capture a Stanley Cup to winning Olympic gold. "You cant even compare it to me," said Sundin. "I mean, the Stanley Cup is the biggest thing you can win playing for a club team in the world. Its over a [full] season and you try to get that, but saying that, international hockey and the Olympic Games go to a little bit of a higher level. You have all the absolute best players in the world competing. Its a short tournament, but its the absolute best, biggest thing you can win as a hockey player today where you face every countrys best players on the ice. And also, for any athlete, women or men, winning an Olympic medal is a little bit beyond just the sport of hockey, as well. You cant compare them, but obviously, you want to be part of both for sure." Sundin thinks that an unfamiliarity with the larger ice surface is one of the main reasons why Canadas offence has yet to really click in Sochi, despite the team being undefeated. Fausse Air Max 97 Off White. "The last time the Olympics were around, the tournament was held on a smaller ice surface, an edge to the North American teams, no doubt," said Sundin. "The US and Canada were more comfortable. You look at the tournament right now, you can tell [Canada] is not as comfortable on the big ice surface...with the bigger ice surface, it becomes a little bit of a different game." The all-time Leafs leader in points acknowledges that an adjustment needs to be made for North American teams playing on the big international ice. "Just one big difference is when you come into an end, whether its your own end or youre in the offensive zone, youre further away from your opponent," explained the nine-time NHL All-Star. "Theres a little bit more room for a forward to slip away or get out of the way, out of position, so when that happens, and I think a North American feels that, you get a little more tentative and if youre tentative in hockey or you wait a little bit, then youre a step behind. I think thats the biggest thing." With NHL participation up in the air for the 2018 Olympic Games to be held in Pyeongchang, South Korea, Sundin believes it would be a mistake for the league to stop sending its best to the tournament as its a perfect opportunity to put a spotlight on the sport. "For me, its a no-brainer," said Sundin. "I think youve got to look at the broader picture. For the game of hockey, and if you want the game to continue to grow, theres no better window than the Olympic Games, where you can get new fans watching our great game, people from different parts of the world. I dont really see a reason why not. I know it affects the game short term. Some guys get hurt (and) when they get back they might not perform as well. But if you look at a long term picture, I think its just too big of a window to promote our sport to not be part of it." As for Sundays clash between his home country and the country he spent 18 years playing in, Sundin gives the edge to Canada. "Theres no doubt that the Swedish team...are not where you would think to call them a gold medal favourite at this point [without] Henrik Sedin and Henrik Zetterberg, two of the best centremen we have playing right now," said Sundin. "For them to get to the finals here, to get by Finland...Ill hold Canada as the favourites to win the gold medal, but if you have [Henrik] Lundqvist playing an enormous game in the final, theres a shot. But its a long shot for sure." ' ' '
