The Blackhawks lost 5-1 to the Golden Knights on Tuesday at T-Mobile Arena, Chicago’s first regulation loss in four games. Chicago is now 12-13-6.
Sustaining momentum
The Blackhawks had a good first period. Although defensemen Adam Boqvist and Calvin de Haan went to the dressing room and de Haan (right shoulder) would not return, the Blackhawks played their best hockey of the night in that first frame. While Marc-Andre Fleury stood on his head, the Blackhawks held leads in every possession stat through the first 20 minutes.
