Here's a list of notable events on January 14 in Chicago Blackhawks history.

2016: Joel Quenneville Notches Milestone Win

On January 14, 2016, Joel Quenneville became the second-winningest coach in NHL history by recording his 783rd victory.

It was a low-scoring affair when the Blackhawks visited the Montreal Canadiens at the Belle Centre. Jonathan Toews struck first with a tally 8:26 into the game. Paul Byron got Montreal on the board a couple of minutes later, but Ryan Garbutt responded to put the Blackhawks ahead 2-1, which held up as the final score.

Corey Crawford made 39 saves to backstop Chicago's victory, which put Quenneville ahead of Al Arbour in the NHL record books.

Notable Blackhawks Birthdays

Nick Boynton , a 2010 Stanley Cup champion with the Blackhawks, was born on January 14, 1979. Boynton joined the Blackhawks in a trade with the Anaheim Ducks during the 2009-10 season. Across parts of two seasons in Chicago, Boynton had nine points (one goal, eight assists) in 48 regular-season games and logged three blocks and three hits in three playoff games.
