The streak of poor starts is over for the Blackhawks after a pair of first-period goals on the Wild. The team leads, 2-0, through 20 minutes on Thursday night, boosted by a five-minute power play after a boarding call on Thomas Vanek. The first goal was fairly easy, the second was a pretty one with the man advantage. I don't know how Marcus Kruger was okay after that hit from Vanek, though. Anyways, here's your second thread for the night!
Go 'Hawks!
