The Chicago Blackhawks’ offensive struggles continued Thursday night as they fell 3-1 to the St. Louis Blues at the Enterprise Center.
The Blues took an early 1-0 lead just 3:20 into the first period. A Jack Johnson pass was intercepted by the official’s skate, making the puck bounce to Alexey Toropchenko, who then sent it between his legs out front where Josh Leivo eventually finished with the goal.
The Blackhawks tied the game at one midway through the first period. After a couple of chances from the Blackhawks on the power play that just missed, Seth Jones and Patrick Kane cycled on the left side and then the latter fired the puck from the circle to get it past Jordan Binnington.
