The Blackhawks opened their three-game road trip with a 4-3 shootout win over the Washington Capitals on Thursday night, a back-and-forth affair in the nation's capital that saw three different go-ahead goals followed within minutes by an equalizer.
Alex DeBrincat, Dominik Kubalik and Seth Jones scored in regulation while Marc-Andre made 25 saves in the win. Patrick Kane scored the lone goal in the shootout to capture the second point. In his first NHL game, Josiah Slavin found his first point with the primary assist on the game-tying goal in the third by Seth Jones.
