The Blackhawks lost another game in which they were overwhelmed last night. According to Natural Stat Trick, the shot attempts finished 93-39 in favor of Utah. Total scoring chances were 52-16; scoring chances at 5-on-5 were 40-5. And yet, the final score was only 2-1. At some point we need to give the goaltender some props. Because last night’s game should have been a much more one-sided final.

A relentless high-motor player who is enjoying a career season in Chicago, Donato is attracting serious attention on the trade market. As a pending unrestricted free agent, he profiles as a rental who can add to a team’s depth while playing basically anywhere in the lineup.
Scott Powers unloaded some miscellaneous items in a 10 Thoughts column on Tuesday. The portion that really got my attention was his discussions with a couple analysts about Nick Lardis‘ record-setting season in the OHL and some of the why he isn’t getting more love from the macro hockey community. A big part of his projections not necessarily being as kind as Blackhawks fans would want is his size. Yes, one inch can make a huge difference. Their models have him listed at 5-10, which changes his comparison set; he’s listed at 5-11 by Brantford. Byron Bader brings up Senators forward Ridley Greig (5-10) and Rangers center Vincent Trocheck (5-11) as some guys who line up favorably in his data. Here’s some of what Jack Han had to say:“I like his game,” Han said. “Got some Andrew Mangiapane to him. To make the NHL, he’ll have to continue to be really good at winning loose pucks and attacking inside, despite his build. We’ll know once he hits the AHL. Michael Bunting is another guy he reminds me of. Two very useful players but also who, one, have/had relatively brief peaks as top sixers in the NHL and, two, had to fight every step of the way to establish themselves.”
From Kevin Dean’s PSA to whether Lukas Reichel could be traded to analyzing if Nick Lardis’ game will transfer to the NHL, 10 thoughts on the Blackhawks ⤵️ t.co/sjU2M81sBq
