By the numbers: Diving into Blackhawks' glaring defensive struggles
It's been a busy month of November for the Blackhawks. There was a coaching change, a three-player trade involving three former first-round picks in Brendan Perlini, Nick Schmaltz and Dylan Strome and the beginning of a brutal stretch featuring a handful of teams that made the playoffs last season.
Since starting the year 6-2-2, the Blackhawks have fallen to 3-10-3 in their last 16 games and the numbers behind this tough stretch aren't great:
— Blackhawks have allowed 14 goals in their last two games and at least four goals in each of their last five. They've also allowed at least four goals in 15 of 26 games this season.
