Blackhawks come up short in a Colorado shootout
DENVER -- The Blackhawks and Colorado Avalanche appear destined to
play long games. They went nine rounds into a shootout in the Hawks'
first game at the United Center this season before the Hawks pulled out
a victory, and Friday the shootout went eight tension-packed rounds. The Avalanche took this one 4-3, with Chris Stewart making the
decisive conversion before Dustin Byfuglien shot wide on his attempt to
send the shootout to a ninth round.
