Chicago was happy to see that Rangers’ all-star goalie Henrik Lundqvist wasn’t behind the net; the Blackhawks took full advantage of backup goalie Martin Biron, scoring all their goals in the first 9:38 of the game. 

“You’re up 4-0 in the first few minutes, it can’t get any better than that,” said Patrick Kane. “Everyone got a little confidence out of it, and I think everyone got pretty excited.”

Nick Leddy, Patrick Sharp, Marian Hossa, and Corey Crawford were a part of the 4-0 blitz in the first period.

With the loss, New York (37-14-5) failed to leap-frog the Red Wings for the best record in the league.

“It’s not on him at all,” Rangers captain Ryan Callahan said of Biron behind the net.
