"textContent": "<p>PHILADELPHIA — For as encouraging overall as the <a class=\"Link\" href=\"https://chicago.suntimes.com/blackhawks\" target=\"_blank\" >Blackhawks</a>' win Tuesday over the Islanders was, the lopsided third period highlighted one new weakness in their lineup.</p><p>For years, the Hawks have direly lacked firepower in the top six but always had a reliable checking line to lean on, at least whenever Jason Dickinson was healthy.</p><p>During Dickinson's four years in Chicago, he emerged as legitimately one of the best defensive centers in the NHL, and Ilya Mikheyev emerged last season as an excellent right-hand man for him.</p><p>Now, Anton Frondell's arrival and Nick Lardis' growth — not to mention Connor Bedard and Frank Nazar's returns to full health — have juiced up the top six, which is starting to resemble its likely 2026-27 composition. Roman Kantserov's arrival next fall will inject even more offensive juice.</p><p>But at the same time, Dickinson and Nick Foligno's <a class=\"Link\" href=\"https://chicago.suntimes.com/blackhawks/2026/03/04/blackhawks-oilers-trade-jason-dickinson-colton-dach-draft-pick\" target=\"_blank\" >trade</a> departures have decimated the defensive stoutness of the bottom six. Analytically, Mikheyev's even-strength defense has also taken a step back this season, even though he has thrived on the penalty kill. Teuvo Teravainen's play across the board has dipped, too.</p><p>When the Islanders pushed hard <a class=\"Link\" href=\"https://chicago.suntimes.com/blackhawks/2026/03/24/blackhawks-islanders-anton-frondell-nhl-debut-nick-lardis\" target=\"_blank\" >Tuesday</a>, the Hawks discovered they didn't have a line they could rely on to possess the puck, tilt the ice, squash scoring chances and disrupt the home team's momentum — things Dickinson usually found a way to do.</p><p>The third line of Ryan Donato centering Mikheyev and Andre Burakovsky got caved in; chances favored the Islanders 8-1 during their five-on-five ice time. Bedard's line fared no better in best-on-best shifts.</p><p>Slotting Teravainen into Burakovsky's place might help a little bit, but there's simply no evidence Donato — whose defensive analytics have always been subpar, even during his career season — can be an effective checking center on his own.</p><p>During Donato's three-year Hawks tenure, he has been successful next to Dickinson (plus-five goal differential) and next to Bedard (plus-two), but he has struggled mightily apart from them (minus-30). His scoring-chance ratio with Dickinson was 51.9%; without him it's 41.7%.</p><p>So which Hawks forwards — specifically which young forwards — will step up as their defensive anchors moving forward? </p><p>That question seems to be on the front of coach Jeff Blashill's mind. He brought up Tuesday that \"somebody, ultimately, is going to have to be a guy that learns to play against the other teams' best.\"</p><p>\"Whoever that is, I don't know that yet,\" Blashill added. \"You can sometimes use your top two lines for that, but that taxes them a lot. Most teams throughout the league that have had success [haven't done that]. Even when they have a great player like [Panthers star Aleksander] Barkov, [Anton] Lundell filled that spot most of the time.\"</p><p>Oliver Moore's defense was <a class=\"Link\" href=\"https://chicago.suntimes.com/blackhawks/2026/03/23/blackhawks-oliver-moore-nhl-rookie-performance-connor-bedard-jimmy-snuggerud\" target=\"_blank\" >better than expected</a> this season, but his injury prevented the Hawks from getting a substantial look at him in a checking role.</p><p>Ryan Greene's defense was acclaimed coming out of college, when he was heralded as a Dickinson-type player, but he also hasn't gotten much experience in an NHL checking role this season due to his unexpected chemistry with Bedard.</p><p>Blashill mentioned Sunday wanting to give Greene some time at center (presumably third-line center) down the stretch, but after he opted Tuesday to bump Burakovsky instead of Greene off Bedard's line to make room for Frondell, he was noncommittal about the Greene-at-center idea.</p><p>Landon Slaggert has solidified his lineup spot this season with decent defense and penalty-killing, but it's unclear if his upside exceeds that of \"fourth-line utility guy.\"</p><p>Sacha Boisvert, who will likely debut Thursday against the Flyers, is another candidate — as is AJ Spellacy, who will compete for an NHL job next fall. But although their physicality and grittiness will be welcome in the lineup, those traits don't necessarily translate to defensive effectiveness.</p><p>This question could linger for a while.</p><p></p><bsp-list-loadmore class=\"PageListH\" data-module data-hide-authors=\"true\" data-hide-categories=\"true\" data-hide-dates=\"true\" data-show-loadmore=\"true\" ><a
