Chicago remained at 31 points after losing for
a season-high seventh time in a row (0-6-1) -- its longest skid
since losing eight straight from March 18-April 1, 2023.
Seth Jones recorded the Blackhawks' first shot on goal with 31
seconds left in the opening period. Canucks goaltender Thatcher
Demko made the stop, his first of 21 saves.
Garland opened the scoring at 10:05 of the first, converting
after the Canucks capitalized on an errant pass from Chicago's
Alex Vlasic. Filip Hronek intercepted the puck and sent it to
Joshua, who started an odd-man rush that ended when Garland sent
a wrist shot into the net as Chicago goaltender Petr Mrazek
tried to recover.
Garland got his second goal of the night and Hronek his second
assist at 8:18 of the second period, as Hronek's slap shot
deflected off Garland's foot.
Tyler Johnson's power-play goal at 16:43 of the second brought
the Blackhawks within 2-1, but the deficit returned to two goals
just 1:45 later. Vancouver pushed the puck after Chicago's Colin
Blackwell hit the crossbar, leading to a goal by Nils Hoglander.
Joshua made it 4-1 Vancouver at 6:07 of the second, giving the
visitors their largest cushion of the night. The Blackhawks'
Kevin Korchinski finished a 2-on-1 with Ryan Donato at 13:27 of
the third to account for the final margin.
Vancouver won for the seventh time in 10 games while securing a
3-1-1 record on a five-game road trip.
Vancouver swept the three-game season series from Chicago,
outscoring the Blackhawks 10-5.
Mrazek stopped 34 shots.
The Blackhawks went 1-for-4 on the power play while limiting the
Canucks to 0-for-4 on the man advantage.
