Here’s a breakdown of the Chicago Blackhawks’ 4-2 loss to the Detroit Red Wings on the road on Friday.
Game-changing plays
1. The Blackhawks were the first to score. Artem Anisimov intercepted a pass in the defensive zone and sent a stretch pass to Artemi Panarin in the neutral zone. Panarin dropped the puck to Patrick Kane at center ice, and Kane carried the puck into the offensive zone. With one defender on Kane and one shadowing Panarin, Kane brought the puck into the lower right circle and blindly delivered a backhanded pass across the ice.
