Purple and white clad scarves, signs and warm-up jerseys set the stage at the United Center for Hockey Fights Cancer night. Both the Chicago Blackhawks and the Los Angeles Kings honored individuals and their families who are battling cancer. The mutual support from both organizations sparked a bit of positivity before puck drop.
Although it was an emotional night, the Blackhawks sent the fans home happy, snapping their four-game winless streak with a 2-1 overtime victory.
While both teams showed plenty of physicality in the first 20minutes, the game headed into the first intermission with no score.
