The Chicago Blackhawks have yet to win a game in regulation within the last 50 days, yes, fifty, five-zero. They are off to a franchise worst season within the past decade and the teams earnings are at an all-time low due to ticket purchases being at an all-time low.
Change is needed, and it may not be the coaching staffs issue as newly signed head coach Luke Richardson has been doing a ''excellent job at his position'', said Blackhawks general manager Kyle Davidson.
Now looks turn towards the Blackhawks lineup and the issues within.
A surprise starting in goal tonight will be Arvid Soderblom getting the nod, even though Petr Mrazek, the Blackhawks ''starting'' goalie is fully healthy.
And aside from letting the Blackhawks youth continue to get experience in games, the Hawks have decided to pull out promising prospect defensemen Ian Mitchell and add Caleb Jones into the lineup- who has been nothing but issues as of late.
Reese Johnson, a Blackhawk who has truly shown he bleeds red and green as of late will be pulled out of the lineup and Andreas Athanasiou will be in.
