The Chicago Blackhawks expected to play a fast and skilled game against the New Jersey Devils on Friday night. With Kevin Lankinen and John Gillies in net for both sides, you were able to go in thinking there would be a lot of goals. There was.
Chicago prevailed with an 8-5 win. There is a lot of skill amongst the two forward groups on these two teams. Each team also has a couple of defensemen that can move the puck well and help create offense. That was all on full display in this game.
