Blackhawks down 2-0 in series against Golden Knights after a 4-3 overtime loss in Game 2
The Chicago Blackhawks rallied from a two-goal deficit to tie the score after two periods and sent Game 2 of their first-round Stanley Cup playoff series into overtime Thursday, but the Vegas Golden Knights won 4-3 on Reilly Smith’s redirect goal 7:13 into the extra session.
The Golden Knights will take a 2-0 advantage in the best-of-seven series into Game 3 on Saturday.
“I thought we showed a lot of character to battle back,” Hawks coach Jeremy Colliton said. “They’re a really good third-period team. … Disappointing because I thought the guys played hard.”
Hawks goalie Corey Crawford stopped 16 shots in the third period — including five high-danger chances — to send the game into overtime.
