    Though Chicago has started slowly after several changes to last season's championship roster, the Blackhawks still know how to find that winning edge.

    Marty Turco bounced back from a benching with 25 saves, Troy Brouwer moved up to the top line and got a goal and an assist, and the Blackhawks beat the Minnesota Wild 3-1 on Saturday.

    "It wasn't so much a little monkey. It was a big gorilla on my back," said Brouwer of his first score, following a 22-goal season.

    The Blackhawks (7-5-1) have a big target on their backs this season, too, and particularly while Marian Hossa sits out with an upper body injury they're missing some of that Stanley Cup swagger. They've still got a lot of young talent, though, starting with Jonathan Toews and Patrick Kane.
