The Chicago Blackhawks entered Sunday night’s game against the Pittsburgh Penguins looking for a bounce-victory, hopeful that some momentum could be taken with them following the jersey retirement ceremony for Marian Hossa.
While the festivities in honor of the Hall of Famer and three-time Stanley Cup Champion brought joy and waves of nostalgia to a packed United Center crowd, the Blackhawks came up short, losing 5-3 to the Penguins.
The Penguins did not waste any time getting on the board, with a goal from Brock McGinn putting Pittsburgh up 1-0 just 1:04 into the first period.
