The Chicago Blackhawks took the ice for the first time since their poor showing against the New Jersey Devils on Thursday. The Blackhawks have not been good on the road this season. They were 1-6-1 heading into tonight’s games against the Blues. They need a victory on the road with the Circus trip rapidly approaching. The Blackhawks also welcomed back some familar faces in Duncan Keith and Michal Rozsival.
#Blackhawks starters: van Riemsdyk-Seabrook, Dano-Toews-Hossa, Crawford.

How about that for a welcome back...Duncan Keith wasting no time in his return --we see you DK! Hawks up 1-0 in STL
— Kelly Crull (@Kelly_Crull) November 15, 2015
The goal was then credit to Andrew Shaw instead of Keith.
Later in the first period, Marian Hossa would get a great chance on Jake Allen. Allen would stop the Hossa chance. David Backes would finish a check which drew the ire of Jonathan Toews.
Backes went to the locker room after all that. But period was close to done. We'll see what comes of that. #stlblues

END OF PERIOD 1: Good news: #Blackhawks up 1-0 after one. Better news: They don't have a three-goal lead to squander.
— Mark Lazerus (@MarkLazerus) November 15, 2015
The second period would be an explosive period for both teams. The period would get started with a Brandon Manshinter penalty for elbowing on Joel Edmundson. The fireworks would keep coming in the second period.
Toews would come to Hjalmarsson defense.
Toews and Backes drop the gloves. This is not a drill. Toews and Backes drop the gloves.

Amid all the fighting, there was so actually hockey played. Vladmir Tarasenko tied the game at 1 at 6:32 gone by in the second period. The penalties would continue in the second period.
Marko Dano (CHI) gets a boarding penalty. #CHIvsSTL #GoHawks

Couple of weird bounces and the puck ends up in the back of the Blues’ net. 2-2 with 4:43 left in the second. #CHIvsSTL

Another tally for Tarasenko with Dano in the bin for boarding. 2-1 St. Louis, 11:44 left in 2nd.

Marko Dano would get a great scoring chance and Jake Allen would ROB him of the equalizer.

The Blues lead would be short lived as an unlikely candidate would score the tying goal for the Blackhawks.
TVR ties it up! ?? #Blackhawks #CHIvsSTL

The Blackhawks took the lead 3-2 on a Power Play goal from Patrick Kane.
Kane just walked in on Allen all alone. That's not fair.
— Mark Lazerus (@MarkLazerus) November 15, 2015
Kane stretches his point streak to 12, two shy of his career high.
— Mark Lazerus (@MarkLazerus) November 15, 2015
After the longest third period of the Blackhawks season, they would lead 3-2. the Third period would be a lot less exciting than the second period. Corey Crawford would setup large for the Blackhawks.
Chaos in front of Crawford but nothing gets past him.
— Blackhawks Nation (@BlkHwkNationCHI) November 15, 2015
Corey Crawford coming up fairly big for Hawks this period.

Crawford! #BlackPadMagic #Blackhawks

#Blackhawks win 4-2, just their second road victory of the season. Kane with the game-winner. Keith plays 127 minutes.
— Tracey Myers (@Tramyers_NHL) November 15, 2015
Duncan Keith eases back into the lineup with a leisurely 27 minutes.
— Jay Zawaski (@jayzawaski) November 15, 2015
Duncan Keith said he felt good after playing a season-high 27 minutes. Sees no reason he won't play tomorrow. #Blackhawks
