CHICAGO CLOSES TOURNAMENT WITH SHOOTOUT LOSS

London, Ontario – One thing the Chicago Blackhawks rookie squad can take away from the 2014 Rookie Tournament is that they got to work on every aspect of a game, especially in overtime and shootout situations.

For the second straight night the Blackhawks found themselves playing extra hockey and unfortunately it finished the way it did the previous night with a 5-4 shootout loss. Monday’s shootout loss to the Ottawa Senators completed the tournament for Chicago as they finished with a 0-1-0-2 record.

Mark McNeill finished Monday’s contest with two goals and one assist, while linemate Teuvo Teravainen dished out three assists including the primary helper on both of McNeill’s markers.

Defensemen Viktor Svedberg and Trevor van Riemsdyk also finished the night with multipoint efforts. Svedberg chipped in a goal in the first period and helped setup McNeill’s game-tying third period tally, while van Riemsdyk had two assists.
