The Blackhawks are struggling to be consistent this year. This should have been expected, the rebuild is only in year two. Yes the Hawks drafted a generational talent in Connor Bedard, and he is showing to be such, but is still learning. There are many other young players on this team that still need to develop.
And now Taylor Hall has been ruled out for the season with an ACL injury. That combined with a confusing and controversial Corey Perry situation, only makes it harder to win games. Two key veterans are now away from the team.
One thing is certain, Jason Dickinson is looking like a great addition to this team. He had 8 points entering todays game. Today marks the second straight game where Dickinson has found the net.
Dickinson is showing that he is worth a contract extension. And if he can keep up this great play, he will surely earn it.
