Dylan Strome started the scoring just 1:38 into the first period. Alex DeBrincat dropped the puck to Patrick Kane who quickly touch-passed it to Strome at the back door to put the Blackhawks up 1-0.
The Blackhawks made it 2-0 a little over five minutes later after DeBrincat cut around a Ducks’ defensemen in the circle before picking the corner. Kane got the primary assist with what may be his signature move: slowing down after entering the zone to find a trailer across ice.
