And there might not be a better time than now to find their comfort level. Five of their next seven games are against playoff teams, including a games against Detroit, Philadelphia Vancouver and a back-to-back games against Nashville on Saturday and Sunday.
"You know, it's a grind these 82 games," Campbell said. "I think, at the start, coming off last season it was a grind to get it going and now I think everybody feels fresh, we're healthy."
Watching the Blackhawks jell, it's clear that the more they do the more they start having fun.
