Blackhawks Seek Redemption Against Senators in Canadian Tire Centre Duel

As the Chicago Blackhawks prepare to face off against the Ottawa Senators at the Canadian Tire Centre, fans are eager to see if their team can bounce back from a recent tough loss. The Blackhawks' performance has been a mixed bag in their last few outings, with two wins and one significant defeat.

In their most recent game against the Los Angeles Kings, Chicago was shut out, failing to score despite 28 shots on goal. Their powerplay opportunities were unfruitful, and they ended up with a -20 plus-minus rating for the game. This loss highlighted areas where improvement is necessary, particularly in capitalizing on scoring chances and maintaining defensive strength.

However, looking at their previous games provides some optimism. Before facing the Kings, the Blackhawks had an impressive victory over the Anaheim Ducks with a 7-2 scoreline. Their powerplay was lethal that night; they scored four goals out of six opportunities and boasted a shooting percentage of 23 percent – showcasing what Chicago's offense is capable of when firing on all cylinders.

Another strong performance came against the Arizona Coyotes where they also put seven past their opponents while allowing four goals. The Blackhawks showed resilience by overcoming an early deficit and dominated faceoffs with a win percentage of 57 percent.

The upcoming match presents an opportunity for redemption as well as consistency for Chicago. Fans will be looking closely at how well their team can maintain puck control during faceoffs and whether they can effectively utilize powerplays – two areas that have seen success in recent games but faltered against Los Angeles.

The game is scheduled for March 28th at 7:00 PM EDT (Eastern Daylight Time), taking place at Ottawa's Canadian Tire Centre. Fans won't want to miss this clash which will be broadcasted on ESPN+ online and NBCS-CHI television network.
