Blackhawks Drop Opener To Rangers
The Blackhawks dropped the puck on the 2008-09 season last night but came up on the wrong side of the win column as they lost their opener to the Rangers 4-2. Free Agent signee Brian Campbell set up last year's Rookie of the Year, Parick Kane, for the 'Hawks first goal of the season, an equalizer that came 17:18 into the first period. The Rangers added two in the second period to go up 3-1 before Duncan Keith scored 7:13 into the third. A few minutes later, the Ranges added an insurance goal and held off the 'Hawks for the win. Cristobal Huet played the entire game in goal, allowing four goals in stopping 25 of 29 shots, not the start to the season he wanted, saying, "I'm disappointed to lose the first game. We made some mistakes and I didn't help the team at the moment they needed me." The Blackhawks are now in D.C. to take on the Capitals tonight at 6:00 p.m. (TV: WGN, Radio: 720 AM).
