The Chicago Blackhawks need to pick it up with consistent play if they want to make the playoffs.
The Chicago Blackhawks have not impressed in the last two games, with a lack of intensity, puck management, they are passive to shoot the puck, and their “drop-pass transition” powerplay is really hit or miss as the opposition’s penalty kill unit stifles it.
The Nashville Predators really gave the Blackhawks a taste of their own medicine on the forecheck, using a high-pressure form of a 3-2 forecheck and the Blackhawks could not find a way to counter it properly.
