The Anaheim Ducks<\/a> (26-25-7) will host the Chicago Blackhawks<\/a> (17-35-7) at Honda Center in Anaheim, California o<\/span>n March 1st<\/a>. This is the rubber match of a three-game season series between two of last season’s lottery teams. So far, the road team won both matchups. Normally the goal scorer, Connor Bedard<\/a>, scored a \u201chat-trick\u201d of assists in the first meeting on November 3rd<\/a>. The Ducks will look to shut down the young phenom, continue their winning ways, and stay hot on home ice. Chicago has the second-worst record in the league, is almost a shoo-in for another lottery pick, and is simply trying to build some momentum going into the offseason and into next season. This will be an interesting matchup between two teams at different stages of their rebuilds. One team is still fully in rebuild mode and one is looking to play their first meaningful hockey in the last seven seasons.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Chicago Blackhawks Playing for Pride<\/h4>\n

Chicago is coming off a tough 7 – 5 loss to the Vegas Golden Knights<\/a>. Anytime a team scores five goals, they expect to win, but the Blackhawks are not a typical team and they are not having a typical season.<\/span><\/p>\n

Things are not looking up either. The Blackhawks are 2-6-2 in their last 10 games and have lost 5 in a row. They are bottom of the league in most major statistical categories except for special teams. Teuvo Teravainen<\/a> leads the Hawks with five points in their previous five games. Meanwhile, Bedard is the one driving the offense overall with 49 points this season. He’ll be disappointed with only 16 goals, but there’s a lot of disappointment going around that locker room. Just ask<\/a> Seth Jones<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re the exact same team right now as we were game 1. It\u2019s pretty evident out there. We haven\u2019t made any strides to be a better, more simple hockey team, and it shows.\u201d<\/p>\n
