Unseen Force: How the Blackhawks Are Defying Expectations and Surprising Everyone

The Blackhawks used to have the glory years, and it seems like they are anxiously looking/searching for a way to return to those years. The team has some pieces they can, and will, build around, but it just seems like it is taking far too long. Connor Bedard, their best player, is off to a nice start this year with six goals through 10 games. He leads the team with 12 points as well, adding six assists to his stat sheet. Overall, the team is off to a decent enough start, but I’m not ready to really crown them as true contenders. I think it is just a decent start and nothing more. They are 5-3-2 for the season and 2-1-1 on the road this year. Their offense has looked really strong in some games, and completely absent in others. Consistency might be the next step they need to take in order to succeed. One stat that stands out to me is that teams are outshouting them by five shots per game. The defense seems to be doing a good job against opponents even with the high shot total. They are allowing just 2.50 goals per game. I suppose that should be attributed to goalie Spencer Knight who has a 4-2-1 record, 2.11 goals against per game average, and a .930 save percentage. If he can keep this hot start going, the Blackhawks might only need a few pieces to make a run at the playoffs this year.
