STAT OF THE NIGHT:Brent Seabrook and Duncan Keith made NHL history tonight, becoming the first two blueliners to play 1,000 games together. While they're the seventh duo to accomplish 1,000 games together, they're the league's first pair of defensemen.
TALKING POINTS:
"It's a waste because I think we can play well and for whatever reason we aren't turning it around until we are behind. It's possible that they let off the gas a little. We shouldn't fall in love with our play too much, but we did at least start playing and competed and won some 50-50s and then the game changed a little bit." - Jeremy Colliton
"We have to find a way to have a better start. It's as simple as that. We put ourselves behind the eight ball every game. We're playing as a team, showing a good fight, but at the same time we have to start better and we will win some games." - Dylan Strome on frustrating loss
WHAT'S NEXT: The Blackhawks return home to host the Pittsburgh Penguins on Wednesday at 7 p.m. The game can be seen on NBCSN or heard on WGN 720.
