What do you do when the captain needs a captain?
Facing elimination Saturday night at the United Center, the Blackhawks held a full team meeting Friday before an optional practice.
Talk about bad timing for the Blackhawks to have their first three-game losing streak all season.
Jakub Kindl scored on a power play in the second period, Daniel Cleary had an empty-net goal and Jimmy Howard made 27 saves to help the Detroit Red Wings hold on for a 2-0 victory over the Chicago Blackhawks on Thursday night, putting the NHL's best team during the regular season on the brink of elimination.
Here are our over/unders for tonight's 7:00 p.m. CT puckdrop at Joe Louis Arena in Detroit, Michigan.
Jimmy Howard's cat-quick reflexes in net and easygoing nature out of it are big reasons the Detroit Red Wings are on a roll.
It's a familiar concern for the Chicago Blackhawks. Especially in the playoffs. Power play production is missing.
Adding insult to injury, the Blackhawks were also forced to deal with questions surrounding the goalie interference call that took away what would have been the game-tying goal in the third period.
It is no longer a shrug-your-shoulders matter.
Following a near-perfect regular season and a first round playoff win over Minnesota, the Blackhawks for the first time are facing adversity.
