GAME RECAP

CHI: 1, VAN: 0

3rd - 4:12 - Brandon Hagel (Erik Gustafsson, Dylan Strome)

After a scoreless opening 40 minutes with Marc-Andre Fleury denying all 30 shots that reached him, the Blackhawks got a gritty goal to open the game's scoring early in the third. Dylan Strome worked the puck to Erik Gustafsson at the point in the offensive zone, where the defenseman put a wrister towards goal. Brandon Hagel battled through two Canucks defensemen in front to get a tip on the shot and direct it past Thatcher Demko for a 1-0 lead.
