CHI: 1, PHI: 0

1st - 1:44 - Erik Gustafsson (Jonathan Toews, Dominik Kubalik)

Chicago opened the scoring just over 100 seconds into the contest. Off a zone entry along the far side, Jonathan Toews pulled up along the wall and found the late-trailing Erik Gustafsson coming across the blue line. Gustafsson walked in and put a wrister on goal through traffic that beat Felix Sandstrom for an early 1-0 lead.

CHI: 2, PHI: 0

1st - 6:15 - Jonathan Toews (Sam Lafferty)

The Blackhawks killed off the game's opening penalty a few minutes later and, fresh out of the box, Jonathan Toews made it a 2-0 lead. As the captain's minor expired, Sam Lafferty intercepted a pass inside his own blue line and skated it to neutral ice before finding Toews at the far blue line with a breakaway feed. Toews walked in and tucked a wrister under the pad of Felix Sandstrom for his 12th of the year.

CHI: 2, PHI: 1

1st - 8:03 - Kevin Hayes (Scott Laughton, Travis Konecny)

Philadelphia got on the board a short time later as Travis Konecny sprung Scott Laughton and Kevin Hayes on a 2-on-1 break from his own end. The former fed the latter from one circle to the other inside the Blackhawks zone, with Hayes putting a one-timer into the open net for a 2-1 game before Kevin Lankinen could get across the crease.

CHI: 3, PHI: 1
