The last-place Blackhawks play the second half of a back-to-back Wednesday when they host the Penguins at the United Center.
Chicago, which has now fallen behind in 11 straight games, has lost eight straight games in regulation after a 6-3 defeat to the Jets on Tuesday in Winnipeg. The Blackhawks allowed three first-period goals and the Jets added another in the opening two minutes of the second frame. Chicago scored three unanswered goals before the Jets pulled away for the win.
It’s the second eight-game losing streak this season for Chicago, who has lost 19 of its last 22 games.
