Blackhawks goaltender Alex Stalock shut the door and stopped 35/35 shots, while the Blackhawks buried five goals on twenty-one shots, earning themselves a 5-0 win. The Senators looked out of place for a team on edge of the playoffs, and attempting to make one more large push in the final frame of the season, but the Blackhawks bitterness may have gotten into their head a tad..
During the second period, with the Blackhawks up 4-0, the Senators were on a powerplay and forward Brady Tkachuk was in front of goaltender Alex Stalock, Blackhawks defensemen Jarred Tinrodi would push Tkachuk on top of his own goaltender.
This sparked a lot of habit, and an underlying reason may be because the Blackhawks goaltender had been out for more than a month prior to this altercation, with concussion issues and long-term symptoms.
