At some point this postseason, it would have seemed preposterous the Blackhawks would have more wins in the Stanley Cup final than Patrick Kane and Jonathan Toews have points combined. Yet, that’s the reality for Chicago after winning the first two games at home. Toews and Kane have been noticeably missing on the scoresheet. Not a point, not an assist. Their sticks have barely touched the puck, reducing Chicago’s star forwards to jumping in the celebration pile and not igniting one. In a series where goalie Antti Niemi and a roll call list of scorers have put the Blackhawks ahead of the Philadelphia Flyers 2-0, Toews and Kane have yet to play a major role in helping Chicago try and win the Stanley Cup for the first time since 1961. True, but having the pair take over a game or two in hostile Philadelphia can ease some of the offensive burden of others not used to being counted on to score. Kane scored 30 goals and had 88 points this season; Toews had 25 goals and 68 points in leading the Blackhawks revival from one-time doormat to the second-best record in the Western Conference.

Winning is all that matters to Kane and Toews. If it means they go for 0 for the Final and they still get to hoist the Stanley Cup, they’ll make that trade any day. The punchless pair were nowhere to be found on Tuesday, taking a day off from talking about their slump with the media. While two games is hardly a huge reason to worry, their overall scoring slump has become a bit worrisome. Kane hasn’t scored in six straight games; Toews in four straight. Yes, both players would like to start scoring. But their absence in the goal column hasn’t affected the Blackhawks in the win column. Chicago has won seven straight games in the playoffs and 10 of 11. Toews noted after Chicago’s 2-1 win in Game 2 on Monday night that depth could take the Blackhawks far. Kane said he wanted to achieve “special things” in the Stanley Cup final, but hasn’t been bothered by his lack of production.
