Jeff Blashill met with the media to provide updates on several key areas of focus. Blashill discussed ramping the team back up after the break, tweaking the power play, and what he looks for when evaluating a player’s confidence level. Sam Rinzel, recently called up from the Rockford IceHogs alongside Kevin Korchinski, quarterbacked the power play at practice as the young defenseman continues to earn opportunities. Blashill also emphasized teaching his defensemen to play more physically as the Blackhawks prepare for the next stretch of the season.
