Oh thank god.
When I heard that Cale Makar was out for this game and Alex Stalock was starting, I thought for sure that the Chicago Blackhawks may take this game. They’ve taken games from teams hungrier than them recently, so it wouldn’t be too shocking.
However, Stalock seemed like the only player awake for the Blackhawks on Monday night, as Chicago lost 5-0 to the Colorado Avalanche. That’s the kind of loss the Blackhawks need to get back to, especially this late in the season with this few players of import on the roster.
