The Chicago Blackhawks could use a playoff goal, let alone a win, after getting beat up in a 5-0 loss to the Nashville Predators on Saturday night. The Hawks now trail 2-0 in the seven-game series after getting blanked in Game 2 at the United Center, which means they’ve gone six straight periods without scoring.
Ryan Ellis, Harry Zolnierczyk, Colton Sissons, Ryan Johansen, and Kevin Fiala potted goals for the Predators as they extended their series lead. Pekka Rinne also stayed hot with 30 saves on 30 shots for his second straight blank slate.
