The Blackhawks had two days rest as the Rangers came to town, but they were without some key members, (Toews, Seabrook, Crawford). The Rangers played the night before in Winnipeg. It isn't often that Henrik Lundqvist sits out back to back games, but Raanta had been hot as of late and he showed it again tonight.
The game was scoreless midway through the 3rd period, when Marian Hossa scored an apparent go-ahead goal, only to have it overturned as Hossa had been offside. But it was Nick Holden who had the game-winner, just :55 seconds into overtime, after a bad shift change for the Hawks.

Three Stars Of The Game
1st - NYR - Antti Raanta - 26 saves, shutout
2nd - NYR - Nick Holden - 1G
3rd - CHI - Scott Darling - 36 saves, .973 SV%
Notable mentions: For the 3rd time in their last 5 meetings, the Blackhawks and Rangers skate to a 1-0 score. Patrick Kane took a hard hit and hit his head against the boards. He left the ice for possible concussion symptoms, but returned to the game after a short time. Scott Darling, unfortunately, is now 1-3, since Corey Crawford is out with appendicitis. None of which is his fault considering he has only given up 6 goals in 4 games.
Next game: Sunday, December 11th, Home against the Dallas Stars (11-11-6), 6PM CT, TV-CSN-CH, RADIO-WGN720AM
LET'S GO HAWKS!!!
