This game got off to another slow start, but Columbus got on the board first when Zach Werenski Plinko’d a pass off Louis Crevier and then off Alex Vlasic‘s skate and into the net less than five minutes in. Things got worse for the Blackhawks around seven minutes in when Wyatt Kaiser needed help off the ice after his knee/ankle bent a direction that doesn’t feel good. When 20 minutes were done, the Blackhawks were down one defenseman and two goals on the scoreboard.
The Blackhawks got the game’s first power play in the second period with Danton Heinen in the box. It was another flat effort on the “advantage,” and Heinen extended the lead himself once he got out of the box. Three goals from Columbus defensemen, this one after another bad turnover. And then Colton Dach disappeared from the Blackhawks’ bench after getting hit behind the Columbus net. Chicago actually had a much better second period than the score would indicate, and trailed by three after 40 minutes.
The third period was chippy and the Blackhawks had more chances early, but couldn’t buy a goal. Even with more chances in the final 40 minutes, a three-goal deficit was too much. When Columbus scored into an empty net with 4:27 left in regulation, you could see the frustration on the ice as Tyler Bertuzzi whacked the cage with his stick.

Star 3: Next Week’s Caddies
The Blackhawks played like a team that was headed to the golf courses early and it cost them. Hopefully there are as many minuses on their scorecards as there were in tonight’s box score.
Key Takeaways
Sam Rinzel skated a heavy workload (team-high 25:42) and was better again tonight. He put three shots on net and was credited with three blocked shots and two hits. He looked like the guy that excited us at the end of last season, which bodes well for the home stretch after the Olympic break. With Kaiser out for most of the first period, Matt Grzelcyk skated 7:47 of the opening 20 minutes. The Blackhawks announced Kaiser was ruled out before the start of the second period. After getting out-shot 8-5 in the first period, the Blackhawks flipped the script and out-shot the Blue Jackets 9-5 in the second. It wasn’t until their third power play of the period that Chicago generated a few good looks, but the third was okay at least. The Blackhawks had a 22-13 shot attempt advantage and 5-1 high danger chance advantage in the second period but couldn’t put the puck in the net. Dach skated one shift in the second period; he did not return for the third. The Blackhawks killed the Blue Jackets’ only power play.
