Great bounce back game by the Hawks tonight. Yeah, it’s the Oilers and they were missing McDavid, but after the way things have gone lately for the Hawks, this was nice. The Shake An Bake line (that’s what I’m calling it now after @patmaughan on Twitter brought up the “An” as a way to get Anisimov involved in the title) was back together and scored all the goals. Hossa was back on the ice at 1RW, he had a nice showing. Dano and Kero have shown they belong in the NHL. Tikhonov should maybe be a scratch in the next one. The defense was generally good and Crawford had a great bounce back performance of his own.

My picks for 3 stars:

★★★ Corey Crawford, G, CHI (34 SV, 2 GA)

★★ Artemi Panarin, LW, CHI (2 G, 1 A)

★ Patrick Kane, RW, CHI (1 G (GWG), 3 A)
