14 Things That Were True The Last Time The Chicago Blackhawks Lost A Hockey Game

The Blackhawks defeated the Wild last night to improve to 20-0-3. The last time Chicago's hockey team knew what it felt like to lose a game in regulation was Apr. 23, 2012, when it suffered a season-ending defeat to the Coyotes in the Western Conference quarterfinals.

That was 318 days ago.
