Today’s game began with a fitting tribute to the USA’s Women’s Hockey Team for winning the gold in Pyeongchang. Gionta was also represented by taking the ceremonial puck drop against Patrick Kane the US Olympian rep for Chicago. Weird to think that he was the only one at the dot that didn’t earn an Olympic medal this year.
First Period
Whomever predicted chippy, this one didn’t look too bad at the start.
The game’s first goal came from Chicago’s Artem Anisimov after a Tim Schaller penalty, deflecting a Jonathan Toews shot.
