Please read this before I get started: no single player is individually worthy of exclusive blame for the Blackhawks’ five-game losing streak. Not the goalie(s). Not the defensemen. And no one forward has lost five straight games by themselves.
It’s been a group effort, both in the good, competitive losses to Colorado and Minnesota and the ugly losses in Buffalo and to Nashville.
But I think we’re at a point in his first full professional season that Oliver Moore might benefit from a...
The Chicago Blackhawks’ 4–3 loss to the Nashville Predators on Friday night at the United Center marked their fifth straight loss. Not great, Bob.
The Blackhawks opened the scoring with 50 seconds left in the first, thanks to a sharp little sequence in transition. Sam Rinzel pushed the puck ahead from the neutral zone, springing Ryan Donato, who stepped into the top of the circle and ripped a snap shot home.

Game Preview
The Blackhawks have lost four in a row, but their last two games have been tight contests against arguably the two hottest teams in the entire NHL. Chicago is 5-3-2 in their last 10 games.
The Predators come in having won their last game! Which improves them to 2-6-2 in their last 10 games. Add the worst goal differential in the entire NHL (minus-26) and the fewest points in the entire NHL (18) and this stacks up as a good night for the Blackhawks to (hopefully) get right.

The Chicago Blackhawks look to end their four-game losing streak on Friday as they host the Nashville Predators at the United Center.
The Predators limp into the weekend sitting second-to-last in the NHL by points percentage (.391), with only the Calgary Flames keeping them from claiming the league’s basement suite. Their recent form hasn’t helped matters — a 2-6-2 skid over their last 10 has done a lot of the damage — but they at least arrive with something resembling momentum after a 6–...

The Minnesota Wild powered past the Chicago Blackhawks in a very solid come-from-behind 4-3 win in overtime. And sure, we could all talk about how Kirill Kaprizov finished off the opposition with an absolute laser in the extra period and making it now six straight wins for Minnesota -- but that's a...
The Blackhawks started strong, faded late, then lost 4-3 in overtime on Wednesday night against the Minnesota Wild.
After a dominant first period, the Blackhawks were finally able to beat Minnesota goaltender Filip Gustavvson at 5:41 into the second period when a bad turnover by the Wild bounced to Jason Dickinson in the slot, and he fired it five hole:

The Chicago Blackhawks continue a four-game homestand Wednesday night, welcoming the red-hot Minnesota Wild to the United Center.
The Wild looked like a mess early on, but they’ve been having a lot of success lately, riding a five-game winning streak and an 8-1-1 heater in their last 10, capped off with back-to-back shutouts against the Pittsburgh Penguins (5-0) and Winnipeg Jets (3-0) in their most recent wins. This current run has vaulted them to third in the Central Division and inject...

This has come up a few times in the comments and on social media, so I think it’s worth addressing here for a moment. The thought that the Blackhawks “need to shoot the puck more” is lovely on the surface, and can be an appropriate discussion point at times. After the Colorado game? Sorry, that ain’t it.
Yes, the Blackhawks were overwhelmed in the second period. In case you missed it, the Avs have one regulation loss this season — and we’re into the final week of November! They’re really ...

Before Sunday’s game, I said my attention was on more than the final score of the game against the NHL-best Colorado Avalanche. On paper, the Blackhawks should have been boat raced out of their own barn. Especially coming out of a game in Buffalo in which they gave up nine goals. I wanted to see the young Blackhawks turn their worst performance of the year into a nothing and compete.
The Blackhawks did that on Sunday.
And, while I know I have never been one to preach moral victories ...

In the past this matchup has been a bit of trouble but Scott Wedgewood was up to the task, crafting his own shutout on the weekend with 22 saves in a 1-0 Avalanche victory. […]
