The Chicago Blackhawks will enter the 2020 Stanley Cup Playoffs as the lowest seed in the Western Conference. This means that they will play the highest seed that remains, with each round they make it to.
There are a lot of storylines that can stem from this newly developed post-season format. One of them being how lucky the Chicago Blackhawks are to even be part of the conversation.
The Blackhawks ended the season in 12th place. Under normal circumstances, that would have placed them too far of a distance away in the rankings from being able to battle for the Stanley Cup.
