Sorensen wants the Hawks to be more compact in the defensive zone, willingly giving up passes to and shots from the point in order to have extra coverage in the most dangerous areas, like the slot. But it's not purely a conservative defensive system,

Anders Sorensen's first game with Chicago looked a lot like when Luke Richardson was coaching the Blackhawks. Not enough offense in another loss. Sorensen took over as the interim coach after Richardson was fired on Thursday.

There are some changes Sorensen can make quickly and others that will need more time to improve the Blackhawks.
