Blackhawks hope power play’s improvement against Coyotes sparks better stretch run

Blackhawks’ smart coaching, competitive culture defying last-place objective for the moment

Finishing 32nd in the final NHL standings and guaranteeing a top-three pick in the draft lottery — now scheduled for May 8 — would benefit the organization long-term. But that’s not on this team’s mind, and they’re significantly overachieving right now.

Chicago Sun-Times

Joey Anderson trying to assert himself during functional tryout with Blackhawks

The Hawks had kept an eye on Anderson for a while before acquiring him from the Maple Leafs, and assistant coach Derek Plante — who has known Anderson for years — has helped him acclimate. But now he must prove he deserves another contract.

Chicago Sun-Times

Cole Guttman’s excellent first Blackhawks season cut short by shoulder surgery

Guttman was shut down Monday for the rest of the season, allowing him to get the surgery early enough to fully recover before training camp next fall. He finishes with six points in 14 NHL games and 30 points in 39 AHL games, having made a big impression at both…

Blackhawks notes: Taylor Raddysh a pleasant surprise as leading goal-scorer

Chicago Sun-Times

Blackhawks’ Jujhar Khaira is ‘feeling better skating’ since returning from back injury

Khaira missed the final 43 games of last season with a back injury that required surgery, then another 26 games this season with a different back issue. But he “corrected” some things about his movement that have helped his mobility in his first six games back.

Chicago Sun-Times

Blackhawks, shaken by trades, fall flat against Coyotes
