With Marty Turco back in the net, and Patrick Sharp scoring two of those five goals, the Hawks looked to be in good shape, despite star players Patrick Kane’s absence due to illness, Brian Campbell’s absence due to a knee injury, and Niklas Hjalmarsson’s absence due to a two-game suspension. The other goal-scorers for Friday night’s game were Stalberg, Hossa, and Kopecky. Read the full game recap here.
