Chicago Blackhawks upset reigning Stanley Cup champions
The Chicago Blackhawks seemed to have pulled off the impossible - defeating the reigning Stanley Cup Champions by a score of 3-1.
After being defeated 3-2 in their previous matchup to the Anaheim Ducks, fans were quickly starting to lose hope on the 2024-25 season.
The reigning Stanley Cup champs rolled in to the Windy City to take on the Chicago Blackhawks, who were sitting dead-last in the NHL (32nd), and arguably pulled off the biggest upset of the NHL season so far.
Now, Chicago's 3 game losing streak is now behind them, and they can focus on climbing back the NHL standings to get their record back to .500.
Early in the first period, the Hawks were awarded a power play. Teuvo Teravainen scored one day after making comments about how low his confidence was.
Despite pressure from Florida, the Hawks were able to find an empty net goal at 19:00 to seal the victory. It was Nick Foligno doing what captains do best and putting the team on his back.

I think it's pretty safe to say that the Chicago Blackhawks needed this moral victory more than ever.
The team was looking for some much needed scoring from their depth players, and that was ultimately the deciding factor in this crucial upset victory.
Head coach Luke Richardson and the rest of the Hawks troops live to fight another day.
They will look to ride their newfound momentum when they take on the Philadelphia Flyers on Saturday.
