Blackhawks' Bertuzzi admits team struggling to find answers

Chicago Blackhawks forward Tyler Bertuzzi addressed the team's struggles after a 6-1 loss to the Rangers, admitting they are trying to figure out what is going wrong.

We’re trying to figure out [what’s going wrong] ourselves,” Bertuzzi said. He pointed to a mix of youth and inconsistency, while stressing that responsibility falls on the entire roster. “It’s on us older guys to show the lead.”

Chicago sits last in the Central Division with a 27-33-13 record. Bertuzzi remains a bright spot with 53 points in 70 games, but his minus-19 rating reflects the team's defensive struggles as the season winds down.
