Answers

First Period

1. Eighth overall. The Swedish-born blueliner made his NHL debut with the Blackhawks in 2019. He had six goals and 29 points in 76 games before being part of the 2021 trade with the Columbus Blue Jackets that brought Seth Jones to Chicago.

2. Mike Keenan. This was the Blackhawks’ first trip to the Stanley Cup Final since 1973, but the Pittsburgh Penguins swept them. They would not return until 2010. Keenan won the Stanley Cup with the New York Rangers two years later in 1994.

3. Denis Savard. He set the record during the 1987-88 season, breaking his previous record of 121 points set in 1982-81. He has the four highest-scoring seasons in Blackhawks history.

Second Period

1. Phillip Danault. The talented center played 32 games for the Blackhawks before he was traded with a second-round pick, in 2016, to the Montreal Canadiens for Tomas Fleischmann and Dale Weise. History has not looked upon this trade kindly.

2. Right wing. Maki played 841 games over his 14 seasons in Chicago and was a member of the 1961 Stanley Cup Championship team. He scored 143 goals and 436 points while finishing his career as a plus-144.

3. Pierre Pilote. The Hall of Famer took home the award for being the NHL’s best defenseman in 1963, 1964, and 1965.

Third Period

1. Denis Savard (1980), Eddie Olczyk (1983), Cam Barker (2004), and Jonathan Toews (2006)

2. Ryan Huska (Calgary Flames), Andrew Brunette (Nashville Predators), and Bruce Cassidy (Vegas Golden Knights). Huska’s lone NHL game came with the Blackhawks during the 1997-98 season. Brunette’s 16^th and final season was with Chicago in 2011-12. He had 12 goals and 27 points in 78 games. Cassidy, a good friend of Luke Richardson, was drafted by the Blackhawks in the first round of the 1983 NHL Entry Draft, 15 picks after Olczyk. He played 36 games over six seasons, scoring four goals and 17 points.

3. Craig Mills. The right wing played 27 games over two seasons for the Blackhawks and had three assists. He was traded back to the Coyotes for cash on Sept. 11, 1999. Mills was later traded to the Toronto Maple Leafs for Robert Reichel, the uncle of Blackhawks’ forward Lukas Reichel.

Overtime

21 seconds. Mosienko’s record-setting hat trick helped the Blackhawks beat the New York Rangers 7-6, and the mark still stands today.
