CHICAGO — Blackhawks general manager Kyle Davidson passed the point of no return following a 4-2 loss to Boston on Wednesday night. That's when he decided to replace coach Luke Richardson. The aftermath of that decision began in earnest when Chicago practiced for the first time under interim coach Anders Sorensen — a day after the Richardson move was announced by the team. The big task for Sorensen is turning around a team that wasn't exactly built for a playoff run this season, but one Davidson feels is better than its NHL-worst 8-16-2 record. The offensively challenged Blackhawks have lost four in a row going into Saturday's game against Winnipeg.
