WGN Radio’s Charlie Roumeliotis breaks down the Blackhawks’ 6-2 loss to the Pittsburgh Penguins. Steve Konroyd joins the discussion from PPG Paints Arena to talk about what went wrong in the second period, where the Blackhawks were outshot 23-6 and outscored 4-0.
Later, we hear from Connor Murphy, Matt Grzelcyk, and head coach Jeff Blashill. Plus, Charlie shares his thoughts on Artyom Levshunov’s tough night and whether the Blackhawks should explore going back to 11 forwards and seven defensemen, which would require a call-up.
Charlie wraps up the show by congratulating Patrick Kane on becoming the NHL’s all-time leading points scorer by an American-born player before providing a Blackhawks prospect update on goaltender Ilya Kanarsky and previewing Chicago’s next matchup against the Columbus Blue Jackets on Friday at the United Center.
