Wasteland: Hurricanes 3, Blackhawks 0
Jalen Chatfield of the Carolina Hurricanes plays the puck ahead of Sam Lafferty of the Chicago BlackhawksYeah, that’s about right.
The Chicago Blackhawks ended their losing streak right before the holiday break. In their first game back, they may have started another one, as Chicago fell 3-0 to the Carolina Hurricanes on Tuesday.
The game could have been so much worse if the Hurricanes didn’t step off the Blackhawks throat after the first period, perhaps deciding it wasn’t worth the effort to keep icing their best players going full out. If they did make that assumption, it wasn’t a false one.
