Coming off of their worst start to a season in franchise history, the Blackhawks entered Monday night’s contest with the Senators in dire need of a victory.
After a miserable opening stretch of 0-7-2, the Hawks were finally able to shake their October rust, capturing two points in a 5-1 win over the Ottawa Senators.
Brandon Hagel opened the scoring with a quick shot from the slot, giving the Blackhawks a 1-0 lead.
Patrick Kane — who missed four games in COVID-19 protocol — added to the Chicago lead with a power-play goal early in the second period.
