Really lousy game by the Blackhawks here, made even worse by the fact that Dallas was really banged up. The penalty kill stunk again. Kruger’s return should help that during the playoffs, but still, it’s been really bad as of late. Dallas made a concerted effort to contain Kane. They did so, and nobody else really stepped up. Hossa had a nice outing. Fleischmann was okay. Everyone else was ordinary to bad. Crawford let in four – none were really egregious on his part. Darling looked pretty good in relief. Play him more. The playoffs are coming up in about a month. Need to keep Crawford fresh.

My picks for 3 stars:

★★★ Jason Spezza, C, DAL (1 G, 1 A)

★★ Jamie Benn, LW, DAL (1 G, 1 A)

★ Tyler Seguin, C, DAL (1 G (GWG), 1 A)
