That was wild.
Not just the chaotic third period of the Chicago Blackhawks’ 5-4 overtime loss to the Vegas Golden Knights Saturday afternoon, but the trip overall.
The Hawks nearly pulled off an improbable three-game sweep that included wins against the Anaheim Ducks and Los Angeles Kings — and they swept the season series against the Ducks. But the Hawks were done in by a disastrous third period in which the Knights scored four goals to force overtime before Evgenii Dadonov sank the game-winner against Kevin Lankinen.
