The Chicago Blackhawks have played 46 games with 36 games remaining this season and they are currently in last place in the Central Division and 5 points separating them from a playoff spot.
Meaning, they can’t throw away games like they did on Saturday night if they are hoping to make a run at the playoffs this season.
Their task doesn’t get any easier tonight with the Lightning in town. They did start playing good despite losing to the Lightning 3-2 in November, the game sort of kick started their winning ways at the end of November early December.
