Our Game of the Day series continues by throwing it back to the playoff run of 2009, and the first playoff matchup between the two Original 6 rivals since 1995!
The Detroit Red Wings, fresh off their thrilling seven-game series win over the Anaheim Ducks, found themselves facing a young Chicago Blackhawks team that had just won their first two playoff series in several years.
And while it was Chicago who jumped out to an early start in Game 1 of the series, Detroit’s experience proved to be too much for the upstart Blackhawks.
