The 24-year-old who plays alongside Patrick Kane and Artem Anisimov, is second on the team with 52 points to lead all rookies. Captain Jonathan Toews has scored two goals and set up three in his last four games and tallied in overtime to give Chicago a 1-0 victory over Anaheim on October 26.OVERTIME1.

Playing with a full cage to protect his nose, Getzlaf put a rebound shot through Blackhawks goalie Corey Crawford for his sixth goal of the season after Cam Fowler’s initial shot was stopped. The Blackhawks cashed it in when Seabrook had one slap shot stopped by John Gibson but got a second chance to put another by him.

Chicago held an optional skate Saturday morning. Panarin has missed the Blackhawks’ past two games with an illness. Since being acquired from Chicago, Ryan Garbutt has found his offensive touch on the Ducks’ fourth line.

Anaheim Ducks coach Bruce Boudreau said a lack of respect for a last-place opponent is why his team lost its last game.
