Offense has been something of an issue for the Chicago Blackhawks the last two seasons — the ongoing one included. The line of Artemi Panarin–Artem Anisimov–Patrick Kane has been producing most of the points, while the bottom six toils away and the top line is devoid of an appropriate left wing.
It always hasn’t been that way for the Blackhawks under coach Joel Quenneville, as there often seems to be at least one person who struggles to dent the score sheet. But this season has seen an incredible, problematic non-scoring run involving two players.
