5 Observations: Chicago Blackhawks at Winnepeg Jets - November 5, 2022

1: Shoot. Shoot the puck. Stop entering the neutral zone and dump it in, and especially stop skating across the blue line and just shooting it around the boards. The Jets won the SOG, and it shows as they scored four goals.

2: Shutout. The Blackhawks had 30 SOG, and didn't even score once. They have to generate better chances in front of the net if they want to win hockey games. Connor Hellebuyck is one of the best goalies in the league, however, and it showed, with a 0 on the board for the Hawks.

3: Frustration. This team wants to win. They want to do well. But they have to keep their heads up if they want to do so. Patrick Kane after getting stopped on a mini breakaway opportunity, was caught smashing his stick while going to the bench. He was upset about how he handled the breakaway, and sometimes you just got to let it out.

4: Injuries. Injuries, especially to goaltending, has been hurting Chicago this season. Petr Mrazek and Alex Stalock are both hurt, but there is a possibility that Mrazek will be back next week for the West Coast trip. Well, Arvid Söderblom was injured this game. Dylan Wells finished off the game. Hopefully, all his confidence isn't diminished after letting in three goals and getting injured.

5: Worst Performance All Season. This was by far the worst performance all season. Looks like we're taking the tank for Connor Bedard route again. We were hanging our heads and frustrated on the bench. It looked like they didn't even want to be there. A pathetic showing from the Blackhawks behalf.
