REPORT: The Worst In The League
Keystone Press

 Last night, Chicago Blackhawks fans and players were hoping that they would be able to do something about their horrendous penalty kill especially since the Calgary Flames were 1 of 25 during the power play.

Unfortunately, the Blackhawks have been struggling since the start of the 2016-2017 NHL regular season and are officially ranked 30th in the league for penalty kill percentage.  This has viewers dumbfounded since in previous seasons the Blackhawks have dominated the penalty kill especially with PK expert Niklas Hjalmarsson on the ice.

In 2013 the Blackhawks let in 18 goals on 141 penalty kills, while this season they have already let in 14 goals on only 26 power plays for the opposing team.

It is definitely the greatest weakness for the Blackhawks this season and although it is still early, they must avoid penalties at all costs and to turn up the heat when its time to snuff out the PK.
