Strome and DeBrincat feel that these Blackhawks have something to prove over these final 17 games, and I think they’re right. I also believe that there’s plenty of reason to continue to watch the Blackhawks down the stretch. Kevin Lankinen and Collin Delia are both RFAs after the season, but the Blackhawks will need goaltending help next season with only Arvid Söderblom under contract. A friendly goaltender battle down the stretch seems as good a reason as any to tune in, right? Don’t get me wrong; there will probably be some clunkers scattered throughout the final 16 games of the season.
