GAME RECAP

CHI: 0, CBJ: 1

1st - 12:51 - Boone Jenner (Gustav Nyquist, Zach Werenski)

The home side opened up the game's scoring just past the midpoint of the first off broken coverage in the defensive end from the Blackhawks. Gustav Nyquist circled behind the net with the puck off a cycle and threw a backhanded centering feed back into the slot, where Boone Jenner had snuck to the back door behind Caleb Jones in front. Jenner put a shot into the gaping net for a 1-0 advantage.

CHI: 1, CBJ: 1

1st - 13:15 - Alex DeBrincat (Riley Stillman)

Chicago answered 24 seconds later off an offensive-zone draw as the rebound of an Alex DeBrincat shot was cleared to the point, but not out. Riley Stillman wound up as if he were going to take a one-timer on net with the loose puck, freezing the Blue Jackets in front before delivering a slap pass to DeBrincat at the side of the net for a one-timer of his own for the 1-1 equalizer.

CHI: 2, CBJ: 1

2nd - 15:10 - Calvin de Haan (Philipp Kurashev, MacKenzie Entwistle)

For the second time this season, Philipp Kurashev turned a dumped in puck into a goal, beating a foot race to a loose puck in the Blue Jackets' end, turning and finding the late-trailing Calvin de Haan in the slot. The defenseman put a wrist shot just inside the post through a Kirby Dach screen in front for his first of the season and a 2-1 lead.

CHI: 3, CBJ: 1

3rd - 6:36 - Connor Murphy (Jonathan Toews, Patrick Kane)

The Blackhawks leadership group made it a two-goal lead in the third period off an offensive zone cycle. Home alternate captain Alex DeBrincat slid a puck along the boards to alternate captain Patrick Kane behind the net, who then found captain Jonathan Toews in the high slot. Toews looked at goal and then slid a pass to Connor Murphy, who wears the 'A' on the road, at the side of the net for a quick top-shelf snipe and a 3-1 lead.
