The Nashville Predators have clinched, but there’s still the question of playoff seeding. The Chicago Blackhawks are out of the playoffs picture, but that doesn’t mean the players themselves won’t be trying.
Of course, trying doesn’t guarantee anything. It’s been a challenging season in Chicago, where almost nothing has really gone right. They’ve struggled offensively and defensively; they’ve had a hard time scoring and a hard time not getting scored on; their power play and penalty kill are both below par (though the penalty kill itself isn’t that bad, their goaltending luck has carried over).
Has anything gone right for the Blackhawks this season?
