Blackhawks 3, Penguins 2 (SO) – Recap

The Hawks showed no signs of fatigue in the early going, controlling the action and striking first when David Rundblad scored his second in as many nights on his third slapshot attempt just under seven minutes into the first. Rundlbad’s third goal of the season would be the only goal scored in the period.

The Hawks got a power play early in the second period and were able to convert on it, with Marian Hossa beating Marc-Andre Fleury stick side. Zach Sill would cut into the Hawks lead, beating Corey Crawford glove side about five-and-a-half minutes into the period for his first career NHL goal. This became the second straight game in which someone scored their first career NHL goal, as Lucas Lessio scored his first last night for the Coyotes.

The goal by Sill seemed to energize the Penguins, as they began to control the action after the goal. The Hawks did a good job of answering defensively until Steve Downie scored just under twelve-and-a-half minutes into the period to tie the game at 2. The Penguins would continue to control the action for the rest of the period, but the Hawks were able to keep the score knotted.

After getting off to a bit of a sluggish start in the third period, the Hawks picked it up, and we saw some great back-and-forth play for the rest of the first half of the period. The pace of play would slow down in the second half of the period. Both teams would have their share of scoring opportunities, but neither would find the back of the net, and the game would go to overtime.

While the Penguins controlled the action for the most part in overtime, the Hawks had their chances. Ultimately, neither team would score and we would go to a shootout.

In the first round of the shootout, David Perron drew iron for the Penguins, and Jonathan Toews beat Fleury.

In the second round, Crawford made the save against Sidney Crosby. On the other end, Patrick Kane beat Fleury stick side to give the Hawks the extra point and put them into a tie with the Blues for second place in the division heading into the All-Star break.

While you’re always happy to get two points, I can’t help but feeling that the Hawks stole at least one if not both of them. After getting out to a great start early, Pittsburgh responded and outplayed the Hawks the rest of the way.

My picks for 3 stars:

★★★ Steve Downie, RW, PIT (1G)

★★ Corey Crawford, G, CHI (33 SV, 2 GA)

★ Marian Hossa, RW, CHI (1 G, 1 A)
