Blackhawks fall to Dallas 3-1


What happened?
The Blackhawks were winning 1-0 going into the third period and looked really good in the process.
Seabrook, Hjalmarsson and the defense had been solid throughout and weren't letting anything through.
Then, with about 10 left in the period, Dallas started capitalizing on mistakes.
Primarily, Blackhawk forwards stopped getting down to block shots. Crawford wasn't able to contain rebounds, and Dallas took advantage.
Chicago did a lot of good things in this game. For about 50 minutes, they looked like they were finally going to come away with their first shutout of the season. The line of Hayes, Brunette and Frolik was energetic and proficient throughout, with Frolik assisting on the only goal.
The Blackhawks' winning streak is snapped at 4, and they remain at 6th in the conference. Again though, there are still many things to improve on from this game. They'll continue to build this Saturday with the first of a quick two-game road trip against Los Angeles.
