With the proposed 24-team playoff plan in place, it has afforded several teams a chance to be an ultimate underdog as they wouldn’t have otherwise made it into a traditional playoff format. The Chicago Blackhawks are one such team.
The Chicago Blackhawks will have their hands full to start the 2020 Stanley Cup Playoffs, where they’ll meet the Edmonton Oilers in the play-in round. The Oilers have arguably two of the most talented offensive forces in the game today, with Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl leading their lineup.
