The Hurricanes defeat the Blackhawks, gaining ground in the Metropolitan division with Jarvis scoring 2 points in the 3rd period.
The Chicago coach, Luke Richardson, expressed his admiration for Frank’s performance, stating that he was impressed with his game tonight. He also mentioned Frank’s missed opportunity on the power play, which was thwarted by the opposing team’s skillful stick play. Overall, Richardson was pleased with Frank’s performance.
“Attending the Frozen Four and then flying in Saturday night, only to find out I was playing today, was an unbelievable experience. Although I am feeling tired, it was an incredible time.”
Nazar, drafted as the 13th pick in the 2022 NHL Draft, scored at the 10:05 mark of the first period, giving the Blackhawks a 1-0 advantage. He disrupted an offensive play in his own zone and received a pass from Seth Jones, allowing him to skate unimpeded into the slot and score past Kochetkov’s stick.
“Just play our game,” Aho said. “Kind of business as usual. You try to win hockey games, doing it with good habits and just play our game. That’s pretty simple. You try to build, build your game towards Game 1 of the playoffs. I think we’ve done a pretty good job of just sticking with it and playing our game. I know it’s a cliché. Especially this time of year, it’s big to not pick up bad habits.”
On Saturday, Frank Nazar signed a three-year entry-level contract with the University of Michigan and later scored his first NHL goal for the Blackhawks in the opening period. Despite his achievement, the team has suffered four consecutive losses. The goaltender, Petr Mrazek, made 31 saves.
Nazar explained that it was a successful move at the blue line, allowing him to enter and aim for any available opening. As it was his first NHL game, he admitted to feeling nervous. However, scoring a goal early on helped to ease his nerves and allowed him to play with more composure. He expressed gratitude towards his teammates for their support and welcoming attitude. Overall, the experience has been a positive one.
Nazar mentioned that the recent days have been quite hectic.
Sebastian Aho and Jordan Staal each contributed a goal, while Andrei Svechnikov recorded two assists for the Hurricanes (52-22-7). This performance brought the team within one point of the New York Rangers for the top spot in the Metropolitan Division, with both teams having one game left to play. Pyotr Kochetkov also had a strong showing, making 14 saves.
