Chicago Blackhawks get blown out by the Winnipeg JetsVincent Pariseon November 28, 2022 at 4:32 pm

Seeing the Chicago Blackhawks lose to the Winnipeg Jets is not at all surprising. The Jets are one of the best teams in the league and the Hawks are one of the worst. Not only are the Hawks bad, but they are also in an extreme slump where they haven’t won a game in a while.

Winnipeg ended up winning the game by a final score of 7-2. The Blackhawks did their best to stay in the game throughout the first half of the game but the Jets started to pull away when Mark Scheifele scored at 18:57 of the second period to make it 5-2.

In the third period, Pierre-Luc Dubois scored two goals to make it 7-2 which would obviously hold as the final score. There were some good performances from all Winnipeg skaters which is obvious based on the final result of the game.

Even their goaltender, Connor Hellebuyck, was outstanding. He made 23 saves on 25 shots. He wasn’t tested as he would be against a much better team but he made some saves that helped his team win which is always very important.

The Chicago Blackhawks struggled hard against the Winnipeg Jets on Sunday.

The Hawks let Petr Mrazek hang out there to dry. He faced 44 shots and was only able to save 37 of them. As mentioned before, the Jets have outstanding forwards and it is never easy to goaltend against them if the team in front of you isn’t playing well.

Losses are really starting to pile up for the Blackhawks. This is their seventh in a row (0-6-1) and now their record sits at 6-11-4 (16 points).

The Anaheim Ducks are only three points behind them for the worst record in the Western Conference. The Columbus Blue Jackets have one less point as the only Eastern Conference team with a worse record. It is going to be a battle for last all season long.

Now, their next chance to win will come on Wednesday when the Hawks host the Edmonton Oilers. Connor McDavid, Leon Draisaitl, and the rest of the squad will be looking to take full advantage of this Hawks team that doesn’t defend well at all.

Tanking will help them but they need to get a win here soon for their own good as an organization.
