The Blackhawks jumped to an early lead, just :56 into the game, as Kane scored his 1st of the year as he grabbed a loose puck and performed a wraparound to give the Hawks a 1-0 lead. Dennis Rasmussen grabbed a puck after a a blowout by Flyers defenseman, Ivan Provorov, and went forehand, backhand, 5-hole, to make it 2-0. Artemi Panarin added his 1st of the year on a one-timer from a shot/pass from Brent Seabrook on the power play, to give the Hawks a 3-0 lead after the first period.

After that point, the Flyers came back with a furious comeback as they erased the 4 goal lead to tie the game. Right before the end of the 2nd period, after a Kane penalty, the Blackhawks penalty kill let them down again as the Flyers made it 4-1. The Flyers carried that momentum into the 3rd as they scored 3 more goals (one more given up on the penalty kill) within the first 4 minutes to silence the United Center crowd.

Notable Mentions: Marian Hossa became the 44th player in NHL history to record 500 goals before leaving the game with a lower body injury. Seabrook, who had three assists tonight, now has 5 points in 4 games so far this year. He's definitely earned the "A" he was awarded with at the beginning of the year. Kane tied Kenny Wharram for 9th place on the Blackhawks All-Time Goals Scoring List. The Hawks penalty kill is a dismal 43.75% efficiency, (7 kills on 16 chances), worst in the NHL.
