The Blackhawks took officially at 17:13 to shot on the net. They had the first power game of the match, but gave up a goal in unsubscribe to Seth Jarvis (again) to follow one before they get this shot on the net. Not exactly an inspiring start. But the Hawks were doing a job decent enough to keep the rings far from their own net and their second shot on the net entered to equalize the match in the last two minutes of the opening period.
A rush to the Blackhawks which did not give a shot turned into a turnover that went in the other direction and found the bottom of the net – Mikko Rantanen’s first goal for Carolina. The rods then marked 67 seconds later when a shot hit the crossbar and the rebound found Jacob Slavin. Philipp Kurashev You were surprised looking at the rebound when entering and the Hawks suddenly chased two.
The Blackhawks were not bad in the second period but they were in a relationship. They started the third period with very good energy and it started to turn into chances against a team of canes that has only dressed 17 skaters. They were able to go to less than a third period. A penalty on Lukas Reichel The end of the third was far from ideal. The Hawks were able to kill the penalty and had a good chance in the short term of Landon Slaggert. Nick Foligno took the penalty to prevent an empty net goal in the last minutes and Carolina then went to hand with ten seconds, but the Blackhawks could not come back all the way.
Star 1: Connor Bedard
Bedard won 3 of the 4 games in the first period and had one of the three Blackhawks shots on goal. He had a very good juice in the second period and played significantly physical. Bedard was at 3:52 p.m. at two periods – three minutes more than any other striker. He obtained a nice fender for a breakaway and marked his 15th of the season to get the Blackhawks in one in the third period. He patinated 23:37.

Star 2: Ilya Mikheyev
The Blackhawks had absolutely no offense in the first period until Mikheyev obtained a nice pass and buried the blow to raise Chicago on the board at the end of the period. We talked about the amount of late goals that can have an impact on the momentum in a game. The Hawks desperately needed it.

Star 3: Nolan Allan
The Blackhawks did not play a lot of physical hockey at 20 minutes, but Allan was released with a few big success at the start of the second period. He was physical and not intimidated in most of the games he played this year and he was visible on the ice almost all quarters. He succeeded in four strokes at the top of the team during two periods (no other blackhawks skater had no more than two).

Main to remember
- No revenge match tonight for Taylor Hall. He was a late scratch because of the disease. Because he and Sebastian Aho were both under the weather, the canes dressed only 17 skaters.
- Seth Jones made a very nice pass to Bedard to spring him for the goal. It remains on offensively fire; He now has 10 points in 7 games. Jones actively blocked shots – led the team with five blocks – and also deviating the passes all night.
- Arvid Söderbrom was really good tonight. He made big stops at the start of the third period, including a couple just before Bedard’s goal. He may want the second goal, but he did not get a lot of attacking support in the first half of the match.
- Jason Dickinson led the team in tubes (two) and blocked shots (two) and had a decisive pass in the first period. He finished night with three strokes and three blocked shots.
- Frank Nazar I had a difficult night. He has reported too much things too much during the first two periods; He should have shot the washer after obtaining a nice pass from Jones (which continued to fly in the middle of the ice), but that turned into turnover which became the second goal of Caroline. It has lost an advantage more than you want it too.
- Slaggert continued to attack washers and found himself putting himself on the upper line with Bedard during the second period. Another excellent Slaggert performance.
