Teuvo Teravainen creates HIGHLIGHT-REEL goal in Blackhawks' 3-2 win over Maple Leafs

Teuvo Teravainen scores a highlight-reel goal in the Blackhawks' 3-2 win over the Toronto Maple Leafs on Saturday.

At 5:12 into the third period, Frank Nazar picked the puck up along the boards and made a backhand pass into the slot. Teravainen took the pass and weaved his way past Maple Leafs defenders, going backhand to forehand to roof it past goaltender Joseph Woll to tie the game at two. That tying goal set off a dramatic finish for the Hawks to come out with the victory over the Leafs.

With the win, Chicago improves to 9-5-4 on the season.

The Blackhawks were down a goal heading into the third period. They needed a spark, and that's what Teravainen did. His goal was slick, creative, and jaw-dropping. Nazar had the vision on the pass and Teravainen had the finish on the play.

Narrative Takeaway

The Blackhawks may not have had a great game against Toronto overall. But one thing is for sure: they were resilient in this game. They did not back down and played a strong third period to hold down the fort.

Blackhawks captain Nick Foligno left the game for Chicago in the second period after a blocked shot that hit his hand. He did not return for the remainder of the game. According to Jeff Blashill, the 38-year-old is expected to be out four weeks.

What's Next: The Chicago Blackhawks continue their four-game homestand against the Calgary Flames on Tuesday. Puck drop is set for 7:30 p.m. CST. The game will air on CHSN (in-market) and ESPN+ (out-of-market). Fans can tune into the game on WGN Radio 720.
