Chicago Blackhawks: Top 5 Highlights from Their Win Streak

The Chicago Blackhawks' record-setting 24-game point streak to start an NHL season finally ended on Friday when they lost to the Colorado Avalanche, 6-2.

You know what they say—All good things must come to an end.  

But let's take a step back from the statistics and admire the NHL record start. The plays that went into the new record are just as impressive as the record itself.

Here are the top five highlights from the Blackhawks' streak.

5. Corey Crawford Gloves It Down

Corey stops Corey.

No one can deny that Corey Crawford has been stellar this season. Who knew Crawford would be Vezina-worthy this year.

He's made more than just a few great saves this year, but this save is definitely a highlight. 

4. Patrick Kane's Shootout Winner

If there was an award that went to the player with the slickest moves in the NHL, Patrick Kane would be a finalist.

In the shootout goal that ultimately beat the Red Wings, Kane used not one but two leg fakes and buried it top shelf.

He must have known Pavel Datsyuk was watching.

3. Jonathan Toews Dances Through the Defense

Captain Serious has some good puck-handling skills.

Seriously.

Jonathan Toews is one of the few guys in the NHL who can make a defense disappear.

Who can remember the Phoenix Coyotes' unbeatable defense from the playoffs last year? Toews certainly can't.

2. Patrick Kane's Blind Pass

Most coaches advise against blind passes. But, well, it seems like Patrick Kane has eyes in the back of his head.

An assist never looked so good.

Just another Patrick Kane highlight.

1. Marian Hossa's Late-Game Heroics

The streak would not even been known as a streak had Marian Hossa not tied this game up with 2.1 seconds left in regulation.

The Blackhawks—who were totally outplayed by the Calgary Flames—ended up beating the Flames in a shootout.

Now that is determination.
