The Blackhawks dropped their third straight game in a 5-2 loss to the Coyotes on Thursday at Gila River Arena. Chicago is 2-3-1 in December.
1. Kirby Dach had a noticeably solid game.
One of the most memorable moments of the game was in the second period when Dach hustled on the backcheck, stripped the puck from the Coyotes’ forward after they crossed the blue line, made a few strong cross overs and gained tons of speed through the neutral zone.
