During the Blackhawks critical 2-1 overtime win over the Avalanche, Chicago managed to generate more high danger scoring chances than the opposition for the first time since their 7-1 drubbing of the Arizona Coyotes on March 11. Additionally, the Blackhawks controlled possession of the puck for most of the game, especially in the third period when they owned a 86-percent Corsi-For rating, created 13 scoring chances and only allowed three shots against.
It was a dominant third period and it would have been extremely frustrating if Philipp Grubauer stole this well-deserved victory from Chicago.
