CHICAGO -- Corey Crawford made 38 saves to help the Chicago Blackhawks to a 2-1 shootout victory against the Florida Panthers and Tom Rowe, who made his NHL coaching debut, at United Center on Tuesday.
Chicago forward Artemi Panarin beat goalie Roberto Luongo in the second round of the shootout, and Richard Panik, who scored in the first period, ended it with his goal in the third round.
It was Florida's first game since Gerard Gallant was fired as coach following a 3-2 loss at the Carolina Hurricanes on Sunday. Rowe, who is Panthers general manager, will coach them the rest of the season.
