“The last two days of practice we had a lot of life in practice so you could sense we would come out with some good jump tonight,” said Wheeler, who scored his 13th goal of the season in the second period and put his 14th into an empty net. “I think they’ve got a lot of goal scorers over there and they were pushing the pace on us a little bit, trying to get us on our heels,” Hellebuyck said of the visitors.
“The couple mistakes we made in the second period, they really capitalized on. But I loved our first period, the way we skated and played, and I really liked our push in the third.” Morrissey opened the scoring at 1:16 of the second period with an unassisted backhand shot from the high slot.Johnson was called for tripping, followed quickly by Sam Lafferty getting a double minor for high sticking.
Chicago had its third man advantage late in the period, but came up empty on three shots at Hellebuyck.
