Nikolai Khabibulin stopped 29 of 30 shots he faced and the 'Hawks scored four unanswered goals as they topped the Phoenix Coyote 4-1 to get their first win of the season. Martin Havlat and Patrick Sharp both netted goals for the Blackhawks in the second period, overcoming an earlier Phoenix goal, to take a 2-1 lead after a scoreless first. Rookie Colin Fraser scored his first career NHL goal in the opening minutes of the third period and defenseman Brian Campbell got his first goal as a Blackhawk 12:04 into the final period. Said Coach Savard after the win, “It’s a good win, we’re excited. But there are still things we need to continue to work on.”
