Searching for signs of progress from the Blackhawks team defense

The 2018-19 Chicago Blackhawks season was such a hectic roller-coaster ride that it felt like four different seasons within one.

There was the opening month that saw Chicago leap out to a 6-2-2 start on some incredibly dramatic wins. Then there was the miserable ending to 2018, with the Blackhawks nose-diving to the bottom of the NHL standings. Chicago then exploded up the standings in 2019, with a seemingly unstoppable power play as the main catalyst. And when a late February slump appeared to end their playoff hopes, one final run pulled them back within striking distance of a playoff spot.
