The Chicago Blackhawks have been giving Duncan Keith a bit less playing time this season. Keith averaged 26:53 minutes per game in 2010-11, but he has logged 25:53 minutes per contests this season. The hope is that by playing him a little less, he'll be fresher when the playoffs start. "I feel good every night," Keith said. "My shifts have been a little bit shorter. I'm feel like I have more energy and hopefully that will pay off down the road."
