The Blackhawks win streak was snapped on Saturday night in a 5-2 loss to the Edmonton Oilers after a disastrous first period doomed them early.
The first period was the most mistake-riddled period of hockey for the Blackhawks in the Derek King era, and the Oilers took full advantage by scoring four almost effortless goals.
Connor McDavid opened the scoring. Evan Bouchard’s point shot hit Zach Hyman and deflected to a wide open McDavid in-close to the side of the net for an easy tap-in goal.
Next, Tyson Barrie cashed in on the power play to make it 2-0.
