Another day, another exhibition game — get used to it — and this one didn’t go as well for the Red Wings.
Playing the back end of a back-to-back against Chicago, the Red Wings lost, 2-1, at United Center.
Taro Hirose (power play) opened the game’s scoring in the first period — putting in a rebound off Filip Zadina’s deflected shot — but the Blackhawks responded with two goals in the second period by Brandon Hagel and Duncan Keith and held on.
Goaltenders Jonathan Bernier stopped 10 of 11 shots and Filip Larsson made 15 of 16 saves.
