This is not the start that Blackhawks fans had in mind, 2-4-2 to start the season with 7 of those 8 games being played at the United Center. Now they head on a day trip to Carolina for a matinée game against a team that has had a very good start to the season.
The Blackhawks are going to need to see more from their stars as Jonathan Toews, Dylan Strome and Alex DeBrincat have all struggled early on and even with 8 points in 8 games Patrick Kane has not had the consistency the Blackhawks need to be competitive.
