PRESEASON FACEOFF

The Blackhawks return home tonight for their second-to-last preseason game, facing the Minnesota Wild once again as they aim to bounce back from a 7-2 loss on Tuesday.

Drew Commesso made his preseason debut in net, going the distance for the Blackhawks with 35 saves in a veteran-heavy lineup that saw Nick Foligno wear the captain's "C" for the first time in game action.

Chicago opened the scoring when Jason Dickinson buried a rebound from Seth Jones to make it 1-0. The Wild responded quickly, outshooting the Blackhawks 12-6 in the first period. Minnesota found their stride in the second, scoring several unanswered goals, but Connor Bedard managed to net his first unofficial goal of the season with just 0.4 seconds remaining in the middle frame.
