CHICAGO — Ryan Donato scored from the edge of the crease at 2:58 of overtime and the Chicago Blackhawks beat the Ducks 2-1 on Sunday night in coach Joel Quenneville’s first game at United Center since being banned in a sexual assault scandal.
The ban stemmed for the scandal involving his 2010 Stanley Cup champion Blackhawks squad that surfaced in October 2021. Quenneville was forced to resign as Florida’s coach, then banned from the NHL for nearly three years before taking over the Ducks in May. He won three titles in 10 years with the Blackhawks.
Donato had his third goal in three games. Connor Bedard set it up from behind the net to cap a 3-on-1 rush. Fank Nazar also scored to help Chicago improve to 3-0-1 in its last four.
Spencer Knight made 38 saves and was beaten only on Mason McTavish’s power-play goal from a sharp angle with 35.8 seconds left in the third period.
McTavish scored on a rising shot from low in the right circle for his first goal of the season on Anaheim’s 36th shot and fifth manpower advantage. Wyatt Kaiser had been sent off for delay of game with 1:47 left after lifting the puck over the glass.
Knight outdueled Lukas Dostal, who stopped 28 shots in Anaheim’s second straight loss.
