The Chicago Blackhawks dropped their first preseason game, 3-2 to the Detroit Red Wings. They got a power-play goal from Connor Bedard and a third-period tally from defenseman Wyatt Kaiser. Goaltender Arvid Soderblom was the star of the game by making 40 saves. New head coach Jeff Blashill will have plenty of teachable moments to show in the video room before hitting the ice again on Thursday.
