The Chicago Blackhawks stunned another playoff contender, beating the Nashville Predators 2-1, but slipped behind the Anaheim Ducks on the draft board.
Lukas Reichel scored in the first period to help the Chicago Blackhawks eke out a 2-1 win Thursday against the Nashville Predators to open a five-game trip.The win had a downside for Hawks fans pulling for the best odds to land a top-three draft pick and perhaps the No. 1 overall — which is likely what it would take to snag Connor Bedard. The phenom had a two-goal, two-assist Wednesday to reach 63 goals and 66 assists in 52 games for the WHL Regina Pats.
The win moved the Hawks into the fourth-place slot on the draft board, slipping behind the Anaheim Ducks. But the Hawks can’t seem to resist taking down contenders.on Tuesday, the Hawks played blanket defense and patient offense to knock off the Predators, who are clinging to wild-card hopes. Where the Bruins were always fighting uphill to get back in the game, the matchup at Bridgestone Arena was shaping up to be a goalie duel between Juuse Saros and Alex Stalock, who has become the Hawks’ de facto starter since Petr Mrázek aggravated a groin injury against the Bruins.
