The Chicago Blackhawks<\/a> remaining schedule begins on the road Wednesday night against the Anaheim Ducks.<\/a> The team has 19 games to go in what has been a roller coaster season. The Blackhawks started off hot<\/a> to begin the season, went through a coaching change<\/a>, drifted aimlessly until hitting rock bottom<\/a> in January, and then went on a tear to claw back<\/a> into the playoff picture. We are going to look at the Blackhawks remaining schedule and the teams they will face breaking down their chances to claim a wild card spot.<\/p>\n

Blackhawks Remaining Schedule Breakdown<\/h1>\n

The Blackhawks enter Wednesday night with a record of 26-28-9 with 61 points. They currently sit five points out of the last wild card spot in the Western Conference. To make a serious challenge at a wild card spot the Blackhawks will certainly need to play better. The team finished their recent 10-4 run with several warning signs<\/a>. They lost their last two games to the Colorado Avalanche<\/a> and the Dallas Stars<\/a> both at home. The Blackhawks also lost four of their last seven games overall. These four losses also signal problems for the Blackhawks. The four teams they lost to: Boston Bruins<\/a>, Columbus Blue Jackets<\/a>, Stars and Avalanche all had more size and speed and a rabid forecheck. Add those together and it spells disaster for a fragile Blackhawks team on most nights.<\/p>\n

Listed below are the 19 games on the Blackhawks remaining schedule. We are highlighting the date, the opponent, their record this season, and the Blackhawks record against each team this year. After the schedule we will breakdown the games that will make or break their run to a wild card spot.<\/p>\n
