Connor Murphy and Ryan Donato didn't share details but said the meeting was an important learning step for the whole team.

The Hawks' 5-0 defeat Tuesday was awful but didn't really stand out, considering it was their 56th loss of the season. Still, many of the young players could benefit from experiencing a postgame meeting.

The Chicago Blackhawks strong play in their 3-1 win against the Penguins at home on Sunday did not carry over when the two teams met again on Tuesday. They have now won just one of their last seven games and have been outscored 23-14 in that stretch.
