Unable to climb out of a six-goal deficit suffered in the first 20 minutes of the game, the Chicago Blackhawks were defeated 8-5 by the Seattle Kraken on Saturday night.
It wasn’t a new site, but it was frustrating nonetheless.
The Kraken opened the scoring 2:50 into the first period. On the rush, Morgan Geekie sent a nice pass to Daniel Sprong, who made a nice move to score, giving the Kraken a 1-0 lead.
The Blackhawks tied the game at one a couple of minutes later after Jonathan Toews threw a backdoor feed that deflected off Jamie Oleksiak’s stick and into the net.
