Gustav Forsling dished two assists and scored his first game-winning goal in the Blackhawks’ 3-2 overtime victory over the Sabres on Friday night. It wasn’t the prettiest win, but it’s a comeback for two points that we’ll all thankfully take to end a five-game losing streak.
Let’s start with the good: The Blackhawks led 95-41 in shot attempts and 51-28 in shots on goal in this game. They had the puck most of the night, and turned that into a ton of scoring chances. Looking just at those of the high-danger variety, Chicago held a 17-7 advantage, per Natural Stat Trick.
