Ryan Hartman had a goal overturned for goaltender interference and Johnny Gaudreau’s game-winner stood after a high-stick review in the Chicago Blackhawks’ 3-2 loss Tuesday night at United Center.
The loss was the third straight for Chicago, who host the Dallas Stars on Thursday. The Stars sit two points back of St. Louis for the third spot in the Central Division and are in the first Western Conference wild-card position. Meanwhile, the Hawks are at the bottom of the Central Division and seven points behind Minnesota for the second wild-card spot.
