Following Monday’s loss to the Seattle Kraken, the Chicago Blackhawks have now played 27 games in the Derek King era, amassing a 14-9-4 record. That’s a pace of roughly 97 points over an 82-game schedule, which would likely be in contention for a wild card spot.
Since that’s roughly one-third of a full 82-game season, it feels like a good time to take a deep dive into how this team has fared since the coaching change back in November.
The last time we took this plunge, it was a comparison between King’s tenure and the disastrous 1-9-2 start under Jeremy Colliton.
