The Blackhawks’ playoff odds have fallen to 23% after peaking above 70% earlier this season.
A 3-0 loss to the Predators on Saturday the Hawks’ fifth in five games against Nashville this season and 10th in their last 14 games overall dealt the biggest blow to their odds yet.
With only 17 games left in the regular season, every ensuing defeat intensifies the pressure on coach Jeremy Colliton to find a solution to the losing skid and find it quickly.
And Colliton who brilliantly managed these inexperienced, patchwork Hawks back in the winter, yet has seen most of his ideas so far this spring fall flat knows it.
