Blackhawks are weary of moral victories, but overtime loss to Jets was a big one: Observations
Richardson’s 1-2-2 was working exactly as it’s supposed to, as the Blackhawks repeatedly slowed the Jets up in the neutral zone. That more often than not either forced a turnover, or prompted the Jets to dump the puck without any momentum, allowing Söderblom or a defenseman to easily retrieve the puck and exit the zone with speed.
