The Chicago Blackhawks prospects were unable to complete the comeback despite a nice finish to their final game in Traverse City. The Minnesota Wild jumped out to a 3-0 lead and ultimately Chicago would lose 3-2 in the battle for third place.
"We had a little bit of a push. It seemed like we were missing some energy, especially in the first period. But I thought we had our moments, even in the second period when we started to have some chances or a shift here or there," said Coach Jeremy Colliton. "We kind of got broken up by power plays. Our power play wasn't zipping it around like maybe we would have liked to, but we got that one in the third and it seemed to give us a little life. We didn't quite and that was nice to see."
