With the Chicago Blackhawks and St. Louis Blues tied at one goal apiece during Wednesday night’s season opener, the Blackhawks’ third line of Ryan Hartman, Tyler Motte and Marcus Kruger generated a quick rush, turning it into a strong forecheck and eventually a goal. Hartman, Chicago’s first round pick in the 2013 NHL Entry Draft, put the puck home for his first career NHL goal.
Ironically, the stick that finished the play was laying on the ice at the beginning of it, as Hartman lost it after getting tied up with a Blue in the neutral zone.
