The Chicago Blackhawks’ very slim playoff hope is gone.
The Chicago Blackhawks did not have their best night of the regular season when they lost five to two against the Carolina Hurricanes. The team obviously had their backs against the wall following the puck drop considering Carolina is the top team in the Central, and that did not change tonight.
Going into the game no one was really expecting the Hawks to win five straight games and make the playoffs. Even if that occurred Nashville and Dallas would have to lose a lot of their games – basically all of them.
