SHARE Brandon Saad scores short-handed goal, gives Blackhawks 1-0 lead

Blackhawks defenseman Brent Seabrook was penalized for slashing, but that didn’t stop Chicago from taking a 1-0 lead in the first period.

While the Blackhawks were trying to kill the power play, a Ducks defenseman was tripped by a referee, Brandon Saad stole the puck and beat Ducks goalie Frederik Andersen for the first goal of the game.

It’s Saad’s his fourth goal of the playoffs.
