Newcomer Vermette scores in shootout to give Blackhawks 2-1 win over Oilers

CHICAGO - Newcomer Antoine Vermette scored the lone goal of the shootout in the third round, giving the Chicago Blackhawks a 2-1 win over the Edmonton Oilers on Friday night.

Vermette, acquired on Saturday from Phoenix, missed on several chances in regulation, but beat Ben Scrivens on a backhander in the tiebreaker.

Chicago's Corey Crawford made 46 saves through overtime, then stopped all three Oilers in the shootout. The Blackhawks improved to 3-1 without injured leading scorer Patrick Kane.

Chicago's Brent Seabrook scored on a screened drive from the blue line — and on the Blackhawks' 33rd shot — to tie the game with 7:02 left in the third period, spoiling Scrivens' shutout bid and setting up overtime.

Edmonton's Derek Roy scored in the first period on a broken play and Scrivens finished with 38 saves through overtime.
