The Chicago Blackhawks are officially eliminated from playoff contention. They were in the race much longer than people anticipated before the season began which is nice but it could have been better. The coaching staff and players should mostly be proud of themselves for getting the most out of a lesser group but the management team should be ashamed of themselves. Despite all of that, they were able to win a very fun game against the Carolina Hurricanes on Thursday.
The Chicago Blackhawks pulled out a very nice win over the Carolina Hurricanes.
The Hawks went down 1-0 to the Canes at 9:49 of the first period and that score would remain for most of the game. That was until Riley Stillman scored his first NHL goal at 16:59 of the third period. The Hawks literally snatched victory from the hands of defeat when Alex DeBrincat’s snipe in overtime won the game for Chicago.
