The league-leading Boston Bruins entered Tuesday with a chance to right the ship against one of the league’s bottom-feeders in the Chicago Blackhawks.
Well, they exited United Center providing more questions than answers.
Some of the concerns from their shaky weekend against the Detroit Red Wings carried over into Tuesday’s tilt in the Windy City.
Boston’s power play, while looking a bit better in their puck movement and shot selection, continued to slump. At times, they also struggled to generate quality looks with their puck decisions at even strength.
Yet, the Bruins found themselves within reach after Pavel Zacha scored 3:02 into the third for a 3-2 advantage.
