Marian Hossa’s veteran play gets Blackhawks a 3-2 win over Flames
CALGARY — Marian Hossa’s been in the NHL long enough to knows how to make a goal out of seemingly nothing.
Hossa’s team-leading 10th goal of the season with 2:23 left in the third period was the winner as the Chicago Blackhawks won 3-2 over the Calgary Flames on Friday night.
Chad Johnson threw up his glove to stop a hard shot from Artemi Panarin but the puck went off the top of his glove and high in the air. It ended up landing behind him where Hossa got his stick on it for his 80th game-winning goal.
“I don’t think the goalie knew exactly where the puck was and the defender tried to put his stick out. I tried to hook on his stick so he doesn’t touch the puck and the puck just bounced pretty much close to the goal line and I just tried to put it underneath me in the net,” said Hossa.
