The Hawks got some contributions from their forward group with winger Brandon Saad assisting on two goals in the contest.

Duncan Keith was on the ice for an unbelievable 40:59 Thursday night. That's understandable if you are the best defenseman on a team that has just participated in a triple overtime.
