The Chicago Blackhawks are an elite team, no matter which way you look at it.

Barring another miraculous start like the one they had in the lockout 2012-13 season in which they did not lose a game in regulation through their first 24 starts, the regular season will be filled with ups and downs as they prepare for the playoffs.
