Blackhawks End 5-Game Losing Streak With Road Win Over Kraken
On Saturday night, the Chicago Blackhawks defeated the Seattle Kraken to end a five-game losing streak.
The Chicago Blackhawks took on the Seattle Kraken in the Pacific Northwest on Saturday night. This was the middle game of a three-game road trip out west. Going into the game, the Blackhawks were looking to bounce back from a tough loss to the Edmonton Oilers a couple of nights prior.
Before ending the season, the Blackhawks are working on finishing the year with strong habits that they can build on over the summer. The Blackhawks played a strong game early on. In the first period as a whole, the Blackhawks outshot the Kraken 10-4.
Nobody was able to find the back of the net, however, and the scoreless tie held into the first intermission. In the second period, the Blackhawks finally broke through at 9:15. Teuvo Teravainen ended a 15-game goal drought to give the Blackhawks a lead.
This was a power play goal. With under a minute remaining in the middle frame, Tyler Bertuzzi scored to make it 2-0 Blackhawks. He extended his team lead and career high with his 32nd goal of the season.
