A lot closer than Game 1 but still on the wrong side of the scoreboard.
The Chicago Blackhawks lost 1-0 to the Vegas Golden Knights in Las Vegas on Thursday night, The second game of a back-to-back and the second game of a three-game away set to open the season.
Paul Cotter got the Knights on the board after emerging from the penalty box, as he went on a 2-on-1 with Reilly Smith and shot the puck past Stalock. That would be the lone goal in the game.
In a 2-on-1 situation, Caleb Jones seemingly forced Cotter into shooting, something he was reticent to do in the same situation earlier in the game.
