The Blackhawks are now the lone winless team in the NHL this season, having not won a game in their first five. Perhaps more (less?) impressively, the Blackhawks haven’t even had a lead in any of those five games. The best they’ve done is ties, which included a 1-1 tie against the Canucks on Thursday night that eventually became a 4-1 defeat.
After going 6-2-0 against the Red Wings last season — likely the last time these two teams will be in each other’s division for a long while — the Blackhawks will look for their first win of the season at home against Detroit on Sunday n ight.
