The Chicago Blackhawks’ recent woes continue as forward Patrick Sharp will be out of the lineup for up to a month.
According to Chris Kuc of The Chicago Tribune, Sharp will miss three-to-four weeks with an upper-body injury.
Sharp was hurt during the first period of Chicago’s 3-2 overtime loss to the Detroit Red Wings loss on Sunday and did not return. He has 20 goals and 20 assists in 42 games with Chicago this season.
The Blackhawks are mired in a recent slump, losing four in a row and dropping to fifth in the Western Conference.
