While the Hawks kept things interesting until the very end, they came up short once again, and now own an 0-3-1 record against Colorado this season after a 6-4 loss on Friday night at the United Center.
Although the first period featured a pair of power plays for the Avalanche and one for the Blackhawks, neither team could find the net with the man advantage.
A Blackhawks penalty just 12 seconds into the second period allowed Colorado to open the scoring on a power play goal by Gabriel Landeskog.
