For the Chicago Blackhawks to run the biggest playoff gauntlet in league history, they’ll need to knock out some good teams. It’s not like they’re in any advantage either, as they’re playing the toughest opponents, as they’re the lowest seed.
Luckily for Chicago, they’re going to have a healthy lineup for the first time in a very long time, with some stars potentially returning, as the playoffs are expected to start in late July, early August.
If players like Calvin de Haan or Andrew Shaw return, it’ll be even better for the team.
