The Blackhawks held a 2-0 lead after the first period with goals from Ryan Donato and Bertuzzi, but the Canucks rallied with goals from Jake DeBrusk and Max Sassoon to tie it 2-2.

With less than six minutes remaining in the game, Tyler Bertuzzi appeared to score a potential game-winning goal by tapping in a loose puck near the net. However, officials immediately waved it off for goaltender interference against Canucks goalie Kevin Lankinen.

The Blackhawks challenged the call, but after review, the goal was not overturned—it remained disallowed. In his post-game comments, Bertuzzi said that he wouldn't comment to avoid a potential fine.

"I won't comment because I'll probably get fined. I think it was not that great of a call."

Had that goal stood, the Blackhawks might have had a chance to win the game. They were assessed a penalty for delaying and an unsuccessful challenge. The Hawks play the Anaheim Ducks on Sunday.

Ryan Donato opened the scoring for the Blackhawks, giving the hosts a 1-0 lead on a power play at 12:41. With less than a minute left in the first period, Tyler Bertuzzi extended the lead to 2-0.

"The first back-to-back, so you don’t know what you’re going to get,” Vancouver coach Adam Foote said via NHL. “It was a real heavy game in Dallas. I felt like the first period we didn’t have our legs. When that happens, sometimes it takes a while to get into it. We made it a little bit harder than we had to, but I like the way we kept going and came back again.”

The Canucks mounted a comeback in the second period, with Jake DeBrusk narrowing the gap to 2-1 on a power play at 6:49. Max Sasson then tied the game at 2-2 at the 13:42 mark. After a scoreless overtime, the Canucks secured the win in a shootout
