It wasn't the fate they deserved, but sometimes that's how the puck luck goes. After playing a solid road game with tons of shots and a stour goaltending performance, it was a broken play with 74 seconds left that saw Texas go down 2-1 in Chicago. Jake Oettinger finished the contest with 25 saves on 27 against. Oskar Dansk had his hands full with a 41 save performance.
Despite playing last night, Texas showed no signs of tired legs. They opened the game with a 12-1 shot advantage and scored the game's first goal. Joel L'Esperance continued his pace of strong play on the power play.
