The Chicago Blackhawks look to avoid their third straight loss as they host the Arizona Coyotes on Tuesday night at United Center. Chicago is coming off back-to-back losses to the Jets and Flyers, and look to turn it around against the slumping Coyotes.
Chicago’s 16-8-3 record is still good for best in the West, however the Hawks’ are struggling with slow starts, and being able to get production moving. Does this mean they’re missing their captain? It’s a good guess.
Although starting with just four goals so far this season, Jonathan Toews’ absence for the Hawks’ has been noticeable, especially in the faceoff circle.
