The Chicago Blackhawks are 3-0 in overtime, with Jonathan Toews netting two goals, scoring 17 and 51 seconds into the wildly entertaining new format. The captain has found a formula for success in the extra session.
“I would say win the draw, get possession, and don’t miss,” Toews told Mark Lazerus of the Chicago Sun-Times with a smirk. “That’s about it.”
