After a grueling first half of the season, the Blackhawks finally appear to have turned a corner.
The Blackhawks have lost three of their past five games, but all of those losses were close games well into the third period. They lost to the Bruins in a close and exciting Winter Classic, the Islanders in overtime in a game that saw Collin Delia steal a point and the Flames in Delia’s “worst” game at the NHL-level.
The recent run contrasts the two eight-game losing streaks to end 2018 when the Blackhawks couldn’t buy a goal let alone two points.
