TAKEAWAYS: Blackhawks Find ‘Winning Mindset” in Victory vs. Kraken

Nick Foligno also praised the team for not writing the game with the two goals and finding a way to stay on top throughout the game to showcase their winning mindsets. 

“When we had a dip and looked like we’re kind of giving him some goals, we just find our way back again,” Foligno said. “That’s what a winning mindset means, like, alright, we screwed up here, but we’re not going to let that affect us.” 

Another component that shined for the Blackhawks included the team’s penalty kill which struggled in the last few weeks but came back together in the third period. 

The team killed off a 5-on-3 chance for Seattle in the third period that helped secure Chicago’s win on Tuesday night. After that shift, Jones hopes that can create another foundation to build off of as they go against the Detroit Red Wings on Thursday.

“That’s kind of a kill where we can really jumpstart a penalty kill, I think and get it back to where it was early in the season because we were pretty good,” Jones said. “So, hopefully, that kind of jump starts that and that can help us get some games.”
