WATCH: Chicago Blackhawks Score Their Fastest Goal of The Season To Open Scoring
The Chicago Blackhawks have had one of the worst first and third period records in the entire NHL. Here is a stat from our writer Jimmy Sheldon:
As bad as their starts have been, their finishes haven't been much better and they have now given up a whopping 95 third period goals, including three or more, 10 times.
For comparison's sake, league-leading Colorado has only allowed 57 goals in the first and 80 in the third while bottom-dwelling Arizona has given up 81 and 94 goals respectively.
Tonight, the Blackhawks scored their fastest goal of the season just 42 seconds in, and looked like a whole new team in the first period:
