The two best teams in the NHL met for an afternoon matinee in Chicago as the West-best Blackhawks hosted the league-best Capitals.
Marcus Johansson got the scoring going with an all-awareness put-back on the doorstep for his 15th on the year and a PPG to get things started.
Mere seconds later, human garbage Patrick Kane scored, but who cares.
Oh, and Braden Holtby did not get up this early just to lose:
