Some people may see Wednesday bending over the United Center ice with a bat during the pregem warmup as an inauspicious omen.
The creature buzzed by TEUVO Teräväinen and formed a discussion in the stand. Lucas Heatherington, an employee of the ice crew, finally caught the bat, which made him away from the snow in a net.
But it was the Chicago BlackHox that could not hold a break.
He rallied twice-due to lack of two-grains-but did a penalty in overtime, and Zach Hyman’s power play game-winner lost 4-3 to Admonton Oilrs.
But big loss?
Hawks Forward Jason Dicinson faced a left leg injury and can see a long trimming.
About 4 1/2 minutes in the second period, the olers carried forward Wasili podcolzine, while going to a puck behind Dicinson, but podcolzine’s skate appeared to catch Dicinson’s right skate and pull his legs forward Took
As Dicinson tried to maintain his balance, his left leg doubled under him strangely and he fell. He was helped to remove it from snow and did not put any pressure on his left leg.
“It doesn’t feel good,” Hawks Interim Coach Anders Sorensen said, saying that Dicinson would be re -evaluated on Thursday.
Dicinson’s disadvantage – a top penalty killer, faceoff man and locker room leader – will potentially be a disastrous blow for longer long -term longer.
“This is a boy you can’t just change,” Alek Martinez said. “He is reliable, he is good in circles, reliable defensively, can contribute to both ends of the rink.”
This is a “very” difficult disadvantage, Ryan Donato said.
“He is the last team partner, the last man,” he said. “He is a great man with snow and is such a great leader on ice. … Hopefully everything is fine with him. ,
Dicinson went to the Hawks training room postgame wearing a walking boot.
“He is valuable to us,” said Soranceon. “He performs a lot of PK, a lot of faceoffs, hard matches. I felt that many people take steps after their absence when they were hurt. ,
Meanwhile, Craig Smith took action for the Hawks after the disappearance of 11 games with a back injury.
For the first period, Victor Arvidson of Edmonton scored the midway through the second, but Lucas Richel entered the 6 -second shot in Tervinon’s shot, which was left before the interval.
Jeff Skinner defeated 1 minute, 11 seconds in the third, and Leon Drassital defeated Golkali Arvid Soderblome five-Hole.
But Ryan Donato redeemed the only power play of the game of Hawks. And Alec Martinez saved it 3-3 with 3:44 on a backdoor snapper.
“Marti holds himself in a great place,” Donato said. “He is a boy whom you can trust that when he gets a chance he is going to shoot it, and he got a great shot, and he has done a good job to keep it away.”
However, in overtime, there were lots of men on ice in huxe. And then 17 seconds later, Hyiman dropped the game of Connor McDwid into snow.
Donato said, “When you give them a small chance, they are going to remove the puck.”
“This is just a hurry,” Martinez said about the fine. “Just trying to be a hurry on a change and hits a skate. He is hockey. ,
Despite the disadvantage, Hawks actually played good hockey against an aristocratic team in oilers – but if you have heard before, stop us.
“It is definitely much better than negative to speak,” Sorensen said. “But this is the difference when you have those small laps.
“But we really feel that after being below 3–1, pushbacks, we showed great flexibility in coming back. This was really a positive and really good to see for our group.
