The Chicago Blackhawks were battered black and blue by the Columbus Blue Jackets on Thursday, losing 7-4 with rookie goaltender Arvid Soderblom getting his first NHL start since Jan. 2 and just the second of his entire career.
The Blackhawks started the game off on the wrong note, allowing two quick goals to the Blue Jackets.
Boone Jenner broke the scoring 6:58 into the game with Dylan Strome in the box for hooking. Jenner knocked a puck out of mid-air and past Soderblom.
Just 13 seconds later, rookie Yegor Chinakhov streaked into the offensive zone, received a pass from Gustav Nyquist and put the puck past Soderblom, making it a 2-0 game.
