For the first time in 2022, the Blackhawks were victorious! They snapped a six-game losing streak by defeating the Vegas Golden Knights 2-1 on Saturday night.
The game was also Marc-André Fleury’s homecoming to Vegas, where the team showed him much love with an opening video tribute and a standing ovation from the fans:

Unfortunately, the feel-good mood didn’t last long as Vegas took a 1-0 lead just 5:17 into the first period.
