The Chicago Blackhawks came out strong to start the game with impressive puck possession. They did everything with the puck but bury it in the back of the Dallas Stars‘ net.
Fantastic start to this game for the #Blackhawks so far. Completely controlling play

And then, madcap hockey set in. In a weird series of events, Slater Koekkoek lost a skate blade in the Stars zone after getting leveled by Radek Faksa, a fight broke out between John Hayden and Jason Dickenson, and Faksa ended up blowing past Erik Gustafsson to score on a breakaway.
