The Blackhawks are still alive. Somehow. “Technically still in it” as head coach Jeremy Colliton said.
Back-to-back losses against the Kings on Saturday in Los Angeles, and now a 3-2 overtime defeat against the Jets on Monday night in Chicago, probably haven’t helped, though.
Former Blackhawk draft pick and noted stairwell pooper Kevin Hayes scored 3:38 into overtime for the Jets.
The Avalanche also fell in overtime to the Blues, which means the Blackhawks remain six points back. With three games to play, Colorado grab a point anymore games for Chicago to stay alive, and the Blackhawks need a three-game winning streak.
