From entries to where passes are going to the players the system is running through to shots (or lack of them), a breakdown of the Blackhawks' power play this season: www.nytimes.com/athletic/772...

NEW POWERS & LAZ: @marklazerus.bsky.social and I discuss whether the Blackhawks are feeling any heat from their 3-8-0 start, the power play's woes and much more. Listen here: www.patreon.com/PowersandLaz...

The Blackhawks continue to trust the process, but when does it become time to stop grading on a curve? Column from @marklazerus.bsky.social: www.nytimes.com/athletic/772...

Blackhawks pairings Vlasic-Cole Kaiser-Levshunov Korchinski-Rinzel Ethan Del Mastro and Bowen Byram (non contact) were the other pairing.

Korchinski is paired with Rinzel in practice

Jeff Blashill has had a long talk with the players on the ice before practice.

Bowen Byram appears to be joining the Blackhawks for practice but is in a non-contact jersey.

Despite being 3-7-0 after 10 games, Jeff Blashill didn't talk like someone at all worried about the his team's start or the direction the Blackhawks are heading this season. “We’re not far off from playing the way we want to play," he said. My story: www.nytimes.com/athletic/771...

The Canadiens defeat the Blackhawks, 4-1. Blackhawks fall to 3-7-0 on the season.

Canadiens' empty-netter, 4-1.

Spencer Knight coming off the ice for another forward with 3:10 left.

Cole Smith takes a puck to the face. Looked like he was going to the dressing room but remained on the bench.

Teräväinen called for interference 22 seconds into the Blackhawks' power play.

Anton Frondell is one of 13 on faceoffs tonight.

The Blackhawks have zero shots on goal in the third period after 10:53 of play. They're at 17 for the game.

Bertuzzi replaces Kane on the top line and joins Bedard and Kantserov.

Blackhawks begin the period with Teräväinen, Frondell and Kane on a line.

Canadiens go ahead 3-1

Kirby Dach shoves Artyom Levshunov to the ice. Connor Bedard comes to his defense.

Blackhawks caught twice facing 2v1 shorthanded rushes on the same power play and Evans makes them pay on the second one.

Canadiens score shorthanded, 2-1.

Zone entries have been a problem for the Blackhawks power play units.

Ryan Greene can't get the puck out. Puck gets to Jake Evans and he cuts across the slot and beats Knight. 1-1

Canadiens tie it, 1-1.

Great breakout from Smith on the wall to Greene to Smith to Greene to Greenway for a one-timer. Everything but the finish.

That was Patrick Kane's first 5v5 primary assist this season.

Bedard to the box for elbowing

Kane from the neutral zone quicky up to Bedard as he enters the offensive zone and he pulls up from the top of the left circle. Blackhawks go ahead 1-0.

Bedard, 1-0

Solid opening minutes for the Blackhawks. Kane, Kantserov, Del Mastro and Greenway all with scoring chances.
