In the second period, the Blackhawks took quick control of the game in a wild 60 seconds of action. First, the Golden Knights thought they had taken a 3-1 lead as Alex Tuch rang a shot off the crossbar and then the post. Upon review, the goal called on the ice was reversed and the momentum quickly swung to the other end of the ice.
Only 15 seconds later, Calvin de Haan notched his first as a member of the Blackhawks, going top shelf past Fleury from the high slot at 4:09 of the second. With a primary assist on the goal, Zack Smith recorded his first point as a Blackhawk and his 100th career NHL assist.
