The Chicago Blackhawks were beaten by the Pittsburgh Penguins so badly on Tuesday night that they had a team meeting after, despite it being the 78th game of the season.
Well, something they said worked as they played much better against the Boston Bruins on Thursday night.
After going down 1-0 thanks to a goal scored by David Pastrnak, the Blackhawks lit the lamp a handful of times in a row.
It started at 7:55 of the second period when Nick Foligno made a great play with his hand-eye coordination. He eventually used Ryan Donato as a decoy to tie the game with a perfectly placed shot.

The second and third goals of three scored in 1:33 were scored by Tyler Bertuzzi and Kevin Korchinski. Both of them were impressive, but Korchinski's goal will be talked about a bit more because of what it means.

KORCH GOAL KORCH GOAL !!!!!For one, it looked like a snipe scored by a 50-goal man. This perfectly placed shot showed exactly what he can do when he's on top of his game. This was his first NHL goal and point of the 2024-25 season.
Connor Bedard collected an assist on this tally, which was the 80th of his young career. That ...
