Blackhawks lose playoff opener to Blues in OT

"UNB! Network" Chicago Sports Report

ST LOUIS - The Chicago Blackhawks just could not get the victory against the St. Louis Blues on Wednesday in the teams' playoff openers.

David Backes scored at 10:56 of overtime to give the Blues a 1-0 win and a 1-0 series lead over the Blackhawks.

''We had a number of chances, especially on the power play,'' Blackhawks forward Jonathan Toews said. ''I think all four lines can generate a little bit more around the net."
