The Chicago Blackhawks are one of just five teams to beat the Boston Bruins by more than one goal this season. Their shocking Tuesday win bumped the Blackhawks behind the Sharks in the Connor Bedard race, however, and is likely an unsustainable victory.
That will be put to the test on Thursday against the Nashville Predators, who, like the Blackhawks, cast off several players at the trade deadline in order to get a better draft pick. Out of Nashville went Mattias Ekholm, Tanner Jeannot, Mikael Granlund and Nino Neiderreiter and in came Tyson Barrie, Rasmus Asplund and Cal Foote.
