The Chicago Blackhawks have lost eight straight games and it all started when they were swept in a home-and-home series with the Nashville Predators.
The Blackhawks will look to stem the bleeding and earn a little redemption when they visit Nashville on Tuesday. It will be the fourth of six meetings. The Predators won 3-1 and 5-2 in January after Chicago won the series opener at home 5-4 in a shootout.
