After the Hawks’ loss to the Colorado Avalanche, head coach Jeff Blashill and captain Nick Foligno said the teams needs more secondary scoring. In Sunday’s 4-0 victory over the Utah Mammoth, they got goals from their secondary scorers. The Hawks got two goals from Teuvo Teravainen and goals from Landon Slaggert and Foligno.
In addition to getting secondary scoring, Arvid Soderblom recorded his first career shutout.

Analysis
The Hawks finally got their first post-Olympic break win in impressive fashion. Soderblom, who has not played in a month, looked great in net. The Hawks also got offense from players not named Bertuzzi or Connor Bedard. The Hawks need to continue to find ways to get scoring output from other players the rest of the season.
Prior to the game, Frank Seravalli revealed his predictions for next year’s lineup. Much to the chagrin of many Blackhawks fans, the Hawks will not be adding many players in free agency. While people are upset, they need to realize that free agency is currently dead.
While free agency might be dead, trades will be the way new talent is acquired. The Blackhawks figure to active this week, possibly trading veterans such as Connor Murphy, Jason Dickinson, Sam Lafferty and Ilya Mikheyev. These moves figure to bring back draft picks and open spots for Anton Frondell, Nick Lardis and others.
The Blackhawks’ next game is Tuesday against the Winnipeg Jets.
