Description: Blackhawks winger Marian Hossa lit the lamp twice in his season debut Saturday against Los Angeles.
Insight: The 34-year-old has scored 20 goals or more in each of his last 12 seasons. Repeating that feat could be a difficult task in the lockout shortened 2013 campaign but he's already off to a good start.

Insight: Hossa was crushed by an illegal check from Phoenix' Raffi Torres during the first round of the playoffs last April and suffered a concussion. However, he said he has already cleared one hurdle by taking an accidental big hit from teammate Brandon Bollig during practice. Hossa was a top-20 fantasy asset last season, but keep in mind it was the first time he stayed fully healthy since 2006-07.

Description: Marian Hossa and Brent Seabrook each scored a goal and added an assist in the Blackhawks' 4-2 win over Detroit on Friday. Yahoo Sports
