THREE THINGS: Cat's Perch, Sweet Move Suter & Celebrating Equality

The Blackhawks for the second straight game made a comeback attempt from a multi-goal hole, but shortly after tying the game 2-2 in the second, allowed the Panthers to score a paid of goals to reclaim the lead, falling 5-2 on Sunday night in south Florida.
Alex DeBrincat and Connor Murphy both tallied on the night, while Collin Delia made 24 saves in his second straight start.
"It's frustrating," DeBrincat said. "We work hard to get back in games, then they go down and score. I think we've just got to - I feel like a broken record - play a full 60 minutes."
"For me, the disappointment lies in that we didn't play well enough," head coach Jeremy Colliton said. "We didn't play well enough, we weren't clean enough with the puck, we weren't sharp enough in little situations that make the difference in the game. We know we've got to be better. We want to get a win and show a result for the hard work and I just don't think we gave ourselves enough of a chance tonight."

Here are three takeaways from the loss:

CAT'S PERCH

For the second straight game, DeBrincat found twine from the left dot on the power play.
Instead of a cross-crease pass from Dylan Strome that set him up on Friday, Patrick Kane worked the puck up to the point to Duncan Keith, who promptly found DeBrincat on the opposite side for the one-time blast.
"They're getting me the puck and I had pretty much an open net," DeBrincat said of the power play. "I still have more to give, more to help the team win and that's really what matters right now."

SWEET MOVE SUTER

Ahead of Sunday's game, Patrick Kane was asked about his first game playing with Pius Suter on Friday night in Tampa.
"He's a good player. He wins a lot of battles, he can skate, he gets to the front of the net," Kane said. "I don't think it was an unbelievable first game, but I think we had some looks and some puck possession, so hopefully it'll just keep building off of that."
Suter didn't take long to make an even bigger impression in his second game with Showtime, stealing a move right out of No. 88's book to set up Kane for an early goal.
Unfortunately, it was all for nothing as Kane was deemed offside earlier in the rush and the goal called back on a coach's challenge.

"I saw a wide-open ice, went as fast as I could, felt some pressure on my right side, bobbled it, but I knew where Kane was around somewhere, and I tried to get it over," Suter said "If it would've been onside it would've been a perfect play."
"The offside, a beautiful goal, beautiful play by Sutes," Colliton said.
Suter made up for it later with a less silky assist on Murphy's third-period tally, winning a faceoff at 4-on-4 back to the point, where Duncan Keith quickly found his blueline partner for the score.

CELEBRATING EQUALITY

Monday marks the 63rd anniversary of Willie O'Ree's NHL debut with the Boston Bruins, becoming the league's first Black player on Jan. 18, 1958. Coinciding with one of America's most important annual celebrations of equality on Monday, Martin Luther King Jr. Day, teams across the league are paying tribute to O'Ree with a helmet decal that will remain from this weekend through the end of Black History Month in February.
On Sunday, the Blackhawks debuted the patch on their helmets in Florida.
