CHICAGO — The Chicago Blackhawks and Columbus Blue Jackets started with a frenetic five-goal first period and ended with a four-goal third, but in the end multiple Hawks rallies came up short in a 7-4 loss Thursday at the United Center.
The Blue Jackets’ Patrick Laine had a hat trick and Boone Jenner had a goal and two assists.
It was the fifth loss in seven games for the Hawks in the opener of a six-game homestand.
