The Chicago Blackhawks have nine games left in the regular-season and are fighting for a playoff berth. Each day until the end of the regular-season, we’ll breakdown their chances at a spot in the Stanley Cup Playoffs.
Sunday’s results
The Hawks fell 3-2 in a shootout to the Minnesota Wild. Minnesota remains one point out of the second wild card spot in the Western Conference and kept pace with the Colorado Avalanche, who beat Edmonton 3-2.
