LAST GAME
The Blackhawks fell 4-3 in overtime to the Maple Leafs Monday night at the Air Canada Centre. Jan Rutta and Richard Panik each had one goal and one assist. Jonathan Toews added his second goal of the season. The Chicago penalty kill went 5-for-6 (83.3 percent). The season percentage now stands at 80 percent.

VS. CANADIENS
Chicago holds a 157-299-103-4 mark all-time against Toronto, including a 57-174-48-4 record on the road. The Blackhawks won both games vs. the Canadiens a season ago. Patrick Kane paced the team with four points (2G, 2A) in two meetings against Montreal last season. Kane (5G, 7A) and Toews (7G, 5A) share the most career points against the Canadiens. Crawford has a 7-0-2 career mark against Montreal.
GOING STREAKING
Through the first three games of the season, there are five Blackhawks who have points in each outing: Gustav Forsling (3A), Toews (2G, 2A), Ryan Hartman (1G, 6A), Panik (3G, 2A), Brandon Saad (4G, 2A) and Rutta (2G, 1A). Forsling's three-game streak ties a career high set last season with Chicago.
HAPPY RETURNS
Saad has recorded four points and two assists through three games this season. He recorded an assist Monday night against Toronto for his sixth point of the year. The Pittsburgh, Pa., native now shares the team lead in points with Kane and Hartman. The twotime Stanley Cup champion has reached the 50-point plateau in each of the last three seasons with Columbus and Chicago.
