The Chicago Blackhawks started their four-game road trip out west with a 4-3 shootout loss to the Vegas Golden Knights. Getting a point is good, but this loss is extra frustrating because they had a lead with under four minutes to play, then lost in a shootout to a goaltender who hadn’t seen an NHL shot in almost two years.
Big picture, this was a good game. The Blackhawks were the faster and better team for much of the night. They scored on their first shot of the game by Oliver Moore. Tyler Bertuzzi took advantage of a Carter Hart miscue, and Connor Bedard scored another highlight-reel goal.
