The Blackhawks will travel to Boston later today for an evening game against the Bruins. That’s far from an easy task; the Bruins are 10-0-0 on home ice to start this season, and the Blackhawks are struggling right now. We’ll see if they’re able to add any fresher bodies (read: Tyler Johnson and/or Ian Mitchell) to the roster before they board the plane.
UPDATE: we found out this morning that the Blackhawks are, indeed, adding a fresh body for the trip to Boston. Mitchell was recalled before practice on Friday. Maybe he can fix the power play by himself? (Only about 45 percent sarcasm on that one…)

“I put in a few areas that I wanted [more data on], and I let them see if they could find a couple of areas,” Richardson told Pope. “I asked them to look into . . . turnovers at both blue lines. What does it lead to? Does it lead to prime-‘A’ chances? How many times does that happen? Or does it put us in [the] ‘D’-zone for a long period of time?
“That’s definitely one area we’re looking at. We’ll see what else they come up with. Probably within the next week, I’ll have numbers. [We’re] finally getting there. But we didn’t want to do it just to do it and throw all these numbers [around]. . . . We wanted to find areas that are going to be meaningful. We might have to move around every month on that, depending how we’re growing or faltering as a team.”
Luke Richardson and Jeff Greenberg held their first analytics summit Sunday on the Hawks' flight back from LA.
Richardson's request? More data on blue-line turnovers.

If this is my #LastTweet I should use it wisely, right? Make it meaningful & important?
The Chicago #Blackhawks should have retired Steve Larmer’s number decades ago. And he should have been inducted into the @HockeyHOF years ago as well. Both can still change.#Retire28 pic.twitter.com/M2HYZSFf5G— Tab Bamford (@The1Tab) November 18, 2022
