The Blackhawks Lead The league In This Impressive Stat
The Chicago Blackhawks have a league-leading stat in the NHL, they've scored first in 19 games this season.
This is unexpected given, the Blackhawks are still undergoing a rebuild at the moment. Yet with Anders Sorensen taking the reins, and setting up a play style that emphasizes the offensive weapons available to him, it should continue should it?
Letting Connor Bedard off of his leash, was the start of the Blackhawks' new direction in the NHL.
Against the New York Islanders, he scored 3 points and today unfortunately he wasn't able to capitalize on Jason Dickinson's goal.
Yet, the collapse would come.
«I think there were a lot of moments in that shift where we could have done things a lot better,» interim coach Anders Sorensen said.
Blackhawks and Devils
While the Blackhawks did strike first, and added 19 games to their record of doing so they were incapable of building on the breathing room Dickinson gave them.
Instead of Bedard or Hall keeping the pressure on during the game, they were hemmed into their own zone by the end of the 3rd period.
A sign that Sorensen has his work cut out for them, especially if they're going to play subpar hockey after the 1st period.
It's a statistic we should be heartened by as they're not afraid to shoot the puck and neither is Bedard. But they have to play a full sixty minutes if they are to grow as a team and face the challenges of playing a contender like the Devils head-on.
