* The Blackhawks have won all three games versus Columbus this season, stretching their winning streak in the series to four games. Since January 16, 2010, Chicago is 9-0-0 against the Blue Jackets when scoring at least four goals, as opposed to 0-4-0 otherwise.
* By losing at Anaheim on Sunday, 7-4, the Blue Jackets became the only Western Conference team to allow at least seven goals on two occasions this season.
* The Blackhawks have lost four consecutive games (0-3-1) for the first time since dropping five in a row in March 2009. Chicago led in three of the four games, doubling its season total for blown leads (losses only) to six.
* With two points on Sunday, Vinny Prospal has now scored 27 of his 30 points this season when the Blue Jackets have either trailed or been tied. Among skaters with at least 25 total points, that's the highest percentage (90.0) in the NHL.
* Rick Nash recorded his third multi-goal game of the season on Sunday, and the 44th of his career. No other Blue Jacket has ever produced more than 12 multi-goal games (Geoff Sanderson, R.J. Umberger).
* Marian Hossa had two more assists on Sunday, raising his season total at home to 18, which exceeds his home assists in each of his past three seasons. His 25 total points at home nearly matches his total in 2010-11 (27).
