Drake Caggiula caught a stretch pass from Alex DeBrincat near the Blue Jackets’ blue line and found himself on a 2-on-1 with Jonathan Toews. Caggiula cut to the middle and snapped it top shelf on Blue Jackets netminder Elvis Merzļikins to put Blackhawks up 1-0 with 4:25 minutes to go in the first period.
It was Caggiula’s first goal of the season. He potted five goals in 26 games with Chicago last season.
