The Chicago Blackhawks had the right game plan vs the St. Louis Blues and had that plan executed until late in the 2nd period. After the Hawk scored right away as Patrick Sharp gets a one-timer on their 1st power play in frame one making it 1-0 Hawks.

The Blues came back a little over midway through the 1st to tie the score at 1-1 on a Jaden Schwartz. Both teams would settle in after those two goals heading deep onto the 2nd frame as the Blue Notes strike twice under two minutes to go in the 2nd.

It was a tip-in by Ryan Reaves making it 2-1 Blue Notes and then with just six seconds left and a puck that was shot off Hawks net miner Antti Raanta came right to Dmitirij Jaskin for wrister past Raanta making it 3-1 Blues. The Reaves goal was under heavy scrutiny from the Hawks as they though the puck was dead.

Hawks Kris Versteeg got the Hawks closer striking just three minutes into frame 3 but that would be it as the Hawks lose 3-2. Both teams split the eight penalties and it was just mistake at the blue lines and careless forechecking from the Hawks.

Raanta stopped 28 of 31 shots with Blue Notes net minder Brian Elliott halting 22 of 24 shots. The Hawks fall to 4-2-1 with 9 points as the Blue Notes move to 3-3-1 in 2014!
