The Chicago Blackhawks goaltending has been spotty through the first four games of the series. As the ‘Hawks go out trying to find their first win of the season, they need to be better in front of their goalies in the net.

So far this season, the Chicago Blackhawks are averaging 33 shots on goal against. That number doesn’t seem too bad when looking at last season, Chicago was leaving Lehner and Crawford out to dry allowing opponents to put up crazy shot totals. Still, for the untested goalies Chicago has, they need to be better in front of them.
