The Chicago Blackhawks started a six-game road trip in Detroit against the Red Wings, kicking things off with a 3-2 overtime win that they didn’t really deserve. The Blackhawks were out-played pretty much the entire night with the Red Wings finishing with an advantage in shot attempts (56-46), shots on goal (29-24), and high-danger scoring chances (10-7). But a win’s a win, and the Blackhawks are now 5-0-1 when scoring the first goal in a game this season and 3-0-3 in their last six road ga...
