One thing was abundantly clear before the final week of the regular season began for the Chicago Blackhawks: They’d need to do everything in their power to stay healthy for the postseason ahead.
That goal was achieved against the Colorado Avalanche, but the Anaheim Ducks were having none of it. Ryan Hartman took a wicked slash from Corey Perry (possibly exacerbating a previous finger injury), Andrew Desjardins suffered a lower-body injury and Michal Rozsival was cheap-shotted out of the game by Nick Ritchie.
