The Chicago Blackhawks returned to form, and executed their relentless style to comeback to defeat the Blue Jackets.
Here’s a great Blackhawks stat for you to start off: Faceoffs: 64.7%, follow this up with Takeaways: 11. The Blackhawks were notorious for a horrendous faceoff disadvantage, and they looked to have focused on that in practice. It paid off in a huge way tonight. They also deployed twelve forwards and six defensemen, who played with much more energy than they did the last two games.
Now, here’s another great thing to keep in mind: Two forced turnovers on the Blue Jackets got them both the GTG and the GWG.
