The Chicago Blackhawks have scored first in both of their first two games of the season, and unlike years before during this golden era of Chicago Blackhawks hockey, an early first goal doesn’t guarantee a Blackhawks victory.
Not only have the Chicago Blackhawks led 1-0, but after giving up an answering goal they have led both games 2-1, but they haven’t been able to score consecutive goals this year. Two goals is all they have scored in both games giving up powerplay goals for the go ahead goal to give St. Louis and Nashville a 3-2 lead that neither team would relinquish.
