By Chuck Sudo in News on Nov 1, 2011 1:00PM
Blackhawks 5, Nashville 4 (OT)
Viktor Stalberg proved to be the difference for the Blackhawks again, scoring the game-winner in overtime past Predators goalie Pekka Rinne. Stalberg is starting to round into game shape after missing the first three games fo the season with a knee injury and his speed allowed him to get into position to shoot the puck past Rinne. The Hawks played well against Nashville's trap game. The Patrick Kane-Marian Hossa line continued to impress. Kane scored two goals, with Hossa assisting on both. Kane and Hossa also assisted on Nick Leddy's second period goal. Bryan Bickell scored the Hawks' other goal as they improved to 7-2-2 on the young season.
