The Chicago Blackhawks Alex DeBrincat beat backup netminder James Reimer five hole with under two seconds remaining to send a sure victory into overtime. Erik Gustafsson beat Reimer halfway through the extra session to send a partisan crowd home, half happy, half crestfallen.
First Period
At around the six minute mark of the first period, Mike Hoffman (11) drilled a one-timer past Cam Ward, low on the glove side. Jonathan Huberdeau skated into the left side of the zone and cut a pass across to Keith Yandle.
