His other came on Jan. 8, 2017, when he played for the Chicago Blackhawks. “Felt good, yeah,” Hartman said. “We (Mats Zuccarello and Kirill Kaprizov) were able to find each other early. We kind of talked about it as a line. We’ve been watching some shifts together, and too many times we were trying to get inside or were forcing it a little bit. You know,…

Wind energy continues to see growth, solid performance, and attractive prices in the U.S., according to a report released by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) and prepared by Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab).
