GAME INFO

WRITTEN

LAST TIME OUT

The Blackhawks fell to Vegas 4-3 in overtime in Game 2 on Thursday night. The Golden Knights led 2-0 after the first period until Kirby Dach scored his first career playoff marker, followed soon after by Dominik Kubalik to even the game at 2-2 midway through the second. Mark Stone and Dylan Strome traded late second-period goals to tie things up 3-3 before the game went into overtime, where Reilly Smith scored the game-winning goal 7:13 to give the Golden Knights a 2-0 series lead.

BLACKHAWKS LINES

The Blackhawks made changes up front both at the start of Game 2 and then again within the game, seeing Patrick Kane split time with both Kirby Dach and Drake Caggiula, as well as Alex DeBrincat and Dylan Strome. It remains to be seen which combination Colliton sticks with in Game 3, but can anticipate a similar look to the forward units.
