"He's a significant challenge," Capitals Coach Spencer Carbery said. "He's having a phenomenal season. ... He changes his shot angle as good as anybody in the world. When he gets in tight spaces and you think you've got him stick on puck, he's able to just move it six inches more to get a real clean look off when he gets into that dangerous scoring area. And frankly, that's a little bit larger for him than it is for most players."
"He won't play tomorrow," Chicago coach Jeff Blashill said of the team's game at home against Detroit on Saturday night. "I won't know more info tomorrow, so don't ask me tomorrow. At some point through the weekend, I'll know more, so I'd probably have more info come Monday."
The Chicago Blackhawks hosted the Los Angeles Kings on Sunday, Oct. 26 at the United Center. Coming into this contest, the Blackhawks were 4-0-1 in their last five games, trying to add to their winning streak. The Kings were a commendable 2-0-1 in their last three contests, having gone past regulation in all three matchups. They were also on the second half of back-to-back games. The Kings ended up coming out on top, winning this contest 3-1.
The standout player so far for me during the preseason has to be Oliver Moore, scoring a beauty of a goal against St Louis, and showcasing that blistering speed he is known for. Having four assists during his brief stint with the Hawks last season wasn't enough to show us what we really want to know about Oliver Moore, but his preseason performances so far have proved why he is a pending superstar.
