The Chicago Blackhawks had been playing great hockey but fell completely off the deep end as March went on. Now, they must look towards April.
Despite winning a close game on Tuesday over the Carolina Hurricanes, the ‘Hawks struggled significantly throughout the entire month of March. While they had looked primed to perhaps make a run for the playoffs, the team now finds itself neck and neck with the Nashville Predators in the standings.
