After 36 minutes, Seth Jones sent a free kick in high over the penalty box.
Pittsburgh was completely dominated and played in the last third. Jeff Carter, a 36-year-old veteran of the Penguins, became the main protagonist of the last third, reducing the difference to a minimum (1: 2) in the 46th minute, but ten minutes later he scored his second goal in the match and reached a draw of 2: 2.

The regular time ended in a draw, so extra time was needed to find out the winner. This time, too, 65 minutes was too small to determine the winner. This was followed by a series of post-match throws. Neither Jake Gencell nor Chris Letang sold their bulls in the Pittsburgh ranks, while the Blackhawks were exactly both Tave and Alex Debrinket.
With 12 points won in 11 games, the Penguins are currently only 13th in the Eastern Conference. Meanwhile, Chicago has scored just eight points in 14 matches and is currently only ranked 15th in the Western Conference.
