It might have been a struggling Chicago Blackhawks team the Montreal Canadiens faced last niight, but it is still one that can count on firepower. The Habs couldn’t simply go into this game thinking it would be easy.
A bad line change allowed the ‘Hawks to get the first shot of the game. The Habs countered shortly afterward, but a high-sticking penalty from Tomas Tatar gave the first real offensive chance of the game to Chicago. Fortunately, the worst power play in the league couldn’t capitalize
After a 2-on-1 chance for Max Domi and Jonathan Drouin, a prolonged offensive presence for Montreal, Brett Kulak wired a shot on net.
