Task: Question Answering
Input (English): passage: The Blackhawks opened the 2017--18 season with a resounding 10--1 victory over the Pittsburgh Penguins. The Blackhawks were four games above .500 with an 18--14--6 record at the end of December 2017, and only four points out of a playoff spot. However, goaltender Corey Crawford missed much of 2018 due to an upper-body injury. Inconsistent defense and goaltending, coupled with limited offense resulted in the team falling to the bottom of the Central Division. The Blackhawks were eliminated from playoff contention on March 20, 2018, marking the first time in nine years that the team failed to qualify for the Stanley Cup Playoffs. The team finished the season with a 33--39--10 record and 76 points in the standings.
