Blackhawks Not Mourning End of Record Point Streak The Chicago Blackhawks aren't about to mourn the end of their streak. "We're proud of it, but it'll be nice to move on now," defenseman Duncan Keith said after the Blackhawks' 6-2 loss to the Colorado Avalanche on Friday night. The loss was Chicago's first in regulation this season and ended a remarkable run in which they earned at least one point in their first 24 games, an NHL record. It's hockey. We've lost games before in our lives. It's not like we're going to sit here and cry," Keith said. Instead, they'll sit back and celebrate, said coach Joel Quenneville, who told his team afterward "that they should be very proud of what they accomplished. They found different ways to win, night in and night out, and everyone contributed to something that hadn't been done. It's a great feather in our cap, but let's move forward here and try to get better. Certainly it was a lot of fun up to today. So, they left the ice without a point for once but also with their heads held high. Dating to last year's regular season, the streak was 30 games. Chicago Blackhawks right wing Marian Hossa, of Slovakia, files off the ice with teammates after the Colorado Avalanche's 6-2 victory in an NHL hockey game in Denver on Friday, March 8, 2013. The Blackhawks lost in regulation for the first time this season. "That's just mind-boggling," Avalanche center Paul Stastny said. That's two full months without losing. Hats off to them. But to be the team that was able to stop them - we had a chance last time and didn't do it - but the way our schedule was we knew we had back-to-back games and would have two chances to stop it. And that's what we wanted to do, stop their streak and get one going for us. Chicago's overall points streak was the second-longest in NHL history. "It's special," said Matt Duchene, who had a goal and a career-best three assists. It's obviously something no one had done yet. But what a run by them. I mean, first of all, congratulations to them. What a run they had. I don't think they're going to slow down because of this. But it's pretty special. It's a good feeling in here. We're pretty happy. Ryan O'Reilly got his first goal since his contract dispute was resolved more than a week ago and assisted on another score in a four-goal onslaught in the second period that turned a 1-1 tie into a laugher. Stastny collected three points. "I didn't have it tonight," Crawford said. Didn't give our guys a chance. There was no such comeback Friday night at the Pepsi Center for Chicago, which hadn't allowed more than four goals in a game this season or even trailed by more than two goals until the Avs' spectacular second period.
