Halischuk’s line, including Yip and Gaustad, were able to keep the play in the zone after multiple failed clearing attempts by the Blackhawks.
The Predators weren’t done in the first period, however. Andrei Kostitsyn would laser a shot pas...

The game was so ridiculous that I’m not even going to waste time by breaking it down into periods. Let’s put it this way. It was Eddie Belfour Heritage Night at the United Center.
