The Chicago Blackhawks defense has looked a lot better this season, but there are still some questions revolving around the blue line.
For the past five years now, the Chicago Blackhawks defense has only gotten worse with time, but this season seems to be the year that changes. Through the first 16 games of the season, the Blackhawks defense has done a relatively good job at times while still relying heavily on their goaltending.
It starts with the influx of new forwards the team added this offseason. With Lucas Wallmark and Mattias Janmark, Chicago added a few new forwards that can defend well in their own end.
