<p>The <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.secondcityhockey.com/">Blackhawks</a>' Tuesday night tilt with the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.ontheforecheck.com/">Nashville Predators</a> at the United Center was Chicago's first game without injured star <span>Jonathan Toews</span>, and it showed. The Blackhawks' offense was punchless throughout the night in a 3-1 defeat to the Predators, the team's second straight loss to Nashville. The win moves Nashville into a tie with the 'Hawks in the Western Conference standings. Both teams have 64 points, but Nashville holds a tie-breaker with more victories. The loss drops Chicago to sixth in the conference standings.</p>
<p>Chicago finally found the scoreboard in the third period when <span>Dave Bolland</span> scored his 15th goal of the season on a power play. The score was set-up by <span>Marian Hossa</span> and defenseman <span>Nick Leddy</span>.</p>
<p>Despite a few quality shots on net in the final two minutes, Nashville goaltender <span>Pekka Rinne</span> kept Chicago's offense at bay and sealed the victory for the Predators. Nashville would add an empty-net goal by <span>Colin Wilson</span> to reach the final score of 3-1.</p>

<p>Hawks will be without their Captain Tuesday against Nashville.</p> <p>The Blackhawks welcome the <a href="https://www.ontheforecheck.com/" class="sbn-auto-link">Nashville Predators</a> to town Tuesday before enjoying a nice long break for the all-star game this weekend.</p>
<p>The Hawks and Preds are playing the second game of a home and home. On Saturday the Predators beat the Blackhawks 5-2. Saturday was the first meeting of the year between the two clubs.</p>
<p>Captain <span>Jonathan Toews</span> is expected to miss Tuesday's game because of injury and may also miss this weekends all-star game.</p>
<p>The probable goaltenders for Tuesday's game are <span>Corey Crawford</span> (16-11-4) for Chicago and <span>Pekka Rinne</span> (26-11-4) for Nashville.</p>
<p>The all-star break couldn't come at a better time for the Blackhawks. <span>Patrick Sharp</span> is starting to skate again after a wrist injury put him out the past few weeks and now Toews is nursing an injury as well. The time off is much needed for the team to get healthy.</p>
<p>Tuesday's game is scheduled to start at 7:30 and will be televised on CSN.</p>
