Blackhawks' disastrous third period capped off by controversial officiating

Thursday’s 3-2 loss to the Seattle Kraken was quite the roller coaster. The Chicago Blackhawks built a 2-0 lead with a pair of goals in the second period. Tyler Bertuzzi started his amazing middle frame with the opening goal, then set up Teuvo Teravainen’s power-play tally later in the frame.

Unfortunately, the Kraken took over in the third period, scoring three goals, including the game-winner on a controversial power play. This was a game the Blackhawks should have won and left with two big points. Many factors contributed to their collapse: playing shorthanded, bad officiating, and poor play.
