CHICAGO - Rostislav Klesla came inches away from being the hero of the night on Saturday, as his hit post missed tying a tight game that Detroit would end up winning, 3-2. David Legwand opened the scoring at 17:04 after great pressure by Chicago resulted in two posts and seven saves by Ryan Miller, who got the start in back to back games. Drayson Bowman made it 2-0 at 10:35 of the second with his first NHL goal, beating Anttii Niemi from a bad angle. Jeff Finger and Steve Ott fought after Finger layed him out. Ott came back and slashed him and the two dropped the gloves. Ott got the best of Finger but went to the penalty box holding his face. With Chicago already on the powerplay, The Hawks took advantage of the momentum swing the fight caused and Olesz put them on the board at 14:27, their first powerplay goal this season. James Wisniewksi made it 3-1 just three minutes after Olesz' close call denied him his second goal. Chad Kolarik got the Hawks back in the game, taking a nice drop pass from Chris Bourque and undressing Ryan Miller, flipping a backhand top shelf to make it 3-2. That would finish the scoring as Chicago couldn't take advantage of a pulled Niemi and an extra skater. David Legwand finished the game with a goal and assist to be named the first star, while Nathan Gerbe and Matt Hunwick each had two assists.
