The Blackhawks and Predators are back at it again on Sunday night at the United Center following Nashville’s 3-1 win over Chicago on Saturday night.
The only good news for the Blackhawks from that Saturday game was the return of Kirby Dach, who played his first hockey game in three months and looked every bit the part of a former No. 3 overall pick.
His return couldn’t save the Hawks from a dreadful performance in the first 40 minutes, though, as Nashville owned a 43-26 advantage in 5-on-5 shot attempts, 28-14 advantage in 5-on-5 scoring chances and 27-14 advantage in 5-on-5 shots on goal during the first two periods.
