Rookie Lifts Blackhawks

Rookie Brent Seabrook’s goal with 38.3 seconds left in overtime lifted the Chicago Blackhawks to a 2-1 victory over the Phoenix Coyotes Sunday night in Chicago.

After killing a power play earlier in the extra period, the Blackhawks converted a three-on-one rush, with Mark Bell finding Seabrook in front. The puck hit Coyote goalie David LeNeveu and trickled across the line for Seabrook’s second goal of the season.
