A return for the Penguins - Matt Cullen is back from IR. Garrett Wilson makes way as a healthy scratch.
1st period
Losers of eight straight games, the Blackhawks have fallen down 1-0 for 11 games in a row! Preposterous. It won’t be 12 though, as they take advantage of Casey DeSmith staying down and fire the puck past him to make it 1-0.
And quickly it becomes 2-0. DeSmith doesn’t cover a puck when he has the chance, instead batting it to the corner and his defense never recovers and gets pulled out of position.
