Dano Could Cure Chicago Blackhawks First-Line Woes
The left wing on the Chicago Blackhawks’ first line has been a revolving door, a turnstile or anything else that rotates constantly.
The Blackhawks have two solidified pieces on their first line: Jonathan Toews and Marian Hossa are both stars who are playing at an extremely high level in both facets of the game. But head coach Joel Quenneville has relied on a wheel of wingers to find the third guy to mesh with his talented duo.
Andrew Shaw was given the most-recent opportunity to play on the first line. Shaw did not record a point and was a minus-1 in Chicago’s 3-2 loss to the New Jersey Devils on Thursday night, despite playing 21 shifts and garnering 18 minutes of ice time.
