In what was one of the most lackluster games of the season, the Blackhawks practically rolled over and played dead in their 3-1 loss to the Vancouver Canucks on Monday night at the United Center.
As is pretty typical in a Blackhawks game, they were down by the end of the first period, this time courtesy of an Alex Chiasson goal that put the Canucks up 1-0 at 12:21 of the first. The Blackhawks failed to clear the puck when Jake McCabe’s errant pass was picked off by Justin Dowling, who slid it quick to an open Alex Chiasson.
