Donato scores in OT, Blackhawks edge Ducks 2-1 in Quenneville's return to
Chicago

CHICAGO (AP) --- Ryan Donato scored from the edge of the crease at 2:58 of
overtime and the Chicago Blackhawks beat Anaheim 2-1 on Sunday night in Ducks
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 up it 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.
Up next
Ducks: At Nashville on Tuesday night.
Blackhawks: At Tampa Bay on Thursdsay night.
