The Blackhawks were routed by the BostonBruins 6-1 at TD Garden on Saturday. Here are10observationsfrom the loss.
Poor Petr Mrazek was under fire all night. He was the reason the Blackhawks hung around for nearly two periods, so don't let his stat line fool you. Of the 43 shots he faced, only 11 of them came from low-danger areas. That means the other 32 were higher-quality chances. Dominik Hasek could've been between the pipes for the Blackhawks and the result probably wouldn't have looked any different.
The only line Boston didn't skate circles around was the fourth line of Colin Blackwell, Reese Johnson and Jujhar Khaira. The three of them didn't allow a single shot on goal in the first two periods when they were on the ice together and gave up three total.Ian Mitchell was recalled after a four-point night in Rockford and made his season debut after missing all of training camp and the first month of the season with a left wrist injury.
