Defensive Issues Popping Up For The Chicago Blackhawks

from Mark Lazerus of the Chicago Sun-Times,

In the wake of their 6-3 loss to the Dallas Stars on Sunday night, the Hawks, the league’s stingiest team entering the game (but no longer), have given up at least four goals in three of their last four games, and six of their last 11. As a result, they have lost two straight, three of four, and five of eight.

Quenneville called Sunday’s loss a “carbon copy” of Friday’s loss to Winnipeg — a surging division rival playing for the second straight night on the road, scoring a power-play goal in the third period and pulling away for a victory.

“We’re not happy,” Quenneville said. “Home games. Games that we’re expected to win, teams that played the night before, points you’ve got to have. … We saw two opponents in the past two nights that are trying to move ahead. And that’s what we’re going to face every night. We’ve got to be more competitive than we saw.”
