Welcome to the penultimate look at the regular-season week ahead for the Chicago Blackhawks. That’s right, we’re down to six games spread across two weeks before the 2016 Stanley Cup playoffs. But don’t worry, Blackhawks fans. Unlike fans of the seven Canadian teams, we’ll get to see at least four postseason games involving our favorite hockey club.
The Blackhawks are coming off back-to-back wins against really bad opponents during which only the bottom-six forwards and Scott Darling looked anything resembling good. The Blackhawks upended the Calgary Flames on Saturday before clinching their eighth straight playoff berth with a win against the Canucks on Sunday.
