The latest odds for the Chicago Blackhawks to return to the postseason, which hasn't happened since 2020, will give Blackhawks fans hope for this upcoming spring.
The Chicago Blackhawks are off to a good start this year, and the fact that they've won their last two games without Frank Nazar is a good sign.
They haven't been in the postseason since 2020, but their latest odds show that could change this spring.
Right now, the Blackhawks have a 32% chance of breaking their postseason drought:
The Blackhawks have not only been getting some exceptional goaltending from Spencer Knight, who was acquired last year in the blockbuster Seth Jones trade, but they are also getting top-notch production from Connor Bedard, the first overall pick in the 2023 NHL Entry Draft.
The addition of former 2x Stanley Cup winner Andre Burakovsky has added a boost of championship experience to the team, and they were also getting production out of Nazar before he was hurt.
Even if the Blackhawks fall just short of making the playoffs, it would still be a major leap forward for the team that has been at or near the NHL's basement for the last several years.
The Blackhawks Are Playing With Confidence
After the Blackhawks beat the former divisional foe Detroit Red Wings 5-1 on Sunday, former Detroit coach Jeff Blashill talked about the importance of having confidence.
"Confidence is a huge factor in life, and especially on special teams. The power play is obviously feeling it, and your goaltender is a big part of your penalty kill."
Chicago will play the first of four straight home games starting tomorrow against the New Jersey Devils.
