The Chicago Blackhawks appear to be on their way to ending the Detroit Red Wings’ stranglehold on the Central Division. Dominating all of their division foes has helped. The Blackhawks look to add to their leadSunday afternoon when they visit Joe Louis Arena in search of their third straight win over the Red Wings. Chicago (33-11-4) is tied with San Jose at 70 points in the race for its first Presidents’ Trophy since 1991. Within the Central, the Blackhawks have a nine-point lead on second-place Nashville and a 15-point advantage on the Red Wings, who have won eight consecutive division titles and 12 of 15 with a league-record six Presidents’ Trophies and four Stanley Cups in that span.

That puts Chicago on pace to supplant Detroit (24-16-7) in the division after getting eliminated by the Red Wings in last season’s Western Conference finals. The Blackhawks are in such good position in large part because of their 11-3-0 record against division rivals Detroit, Nashville, St. Louis and Columbus. They’ve put together an eight-game winning streak within the division - including a pair of 3-0 wins over the Red Wings in December - while holding a 33-13 scoring advantage. Chicago went 10-7-7 within the Central last season, finishing eight points behind the Wings.
