Morning Update 2-5-2020: Slow start keeps the Blackhawks behind
The Chicago Blackhawks fell behind 2-0 against the Wild last night. After a failed comeback, the Blackhawks sit three-points out of the playoffs.
The Chicago Blackhawks came into this game winning the last four games against the Wild. It’s fair to say they played down to their competition again. They tend to have poor games, in big moments, when they should be winning.
That doesn’t say they will miss the playoffs. That loss does hurt the team though. The Blackhawks came into the night three points out of the playoffs. After the Coyotes got a shutout victory, it knocked the Blackhawks four points below them. They now have 61 points and have the first wildcard spot.
