Three unlikely heroes emerged in Calgary on Saturday night to help the Blackhawks find some footing near the end of their five-game road trip (currently 1-3-0) that wraps up Sunday in Winnipeg.
Blackhawks rookie center Kirby Dach hadn't scored a goal in six games; Alex DeBrincat had one marker in his last nine after finishing last season with 41; Alex Nylander had one goal in his past 17 contests.
The trio bounced back against the Flames to help the Hawks to an 8-4 victory.
Nylander scored twice, and DeBrincat and Dach each had a goal.
"It’s a learning process for us that [haven't] been through this," Nylander said after the game.
