NHL: Hawks fall 6-5 to Oilers, open second half 0-2-0

CHICAGO – The second half of the season hasn’t quite gone the way the first did for the Blackhawks.

After having their 24-game streak to start the season without a regulation loss snapped two nights earlier, the Hawks fell for the second consecutive game as they came out on the short end of a wild contest, 6-5 to the Oilers on Sunday night at the United Center.

The Hawks dropped to 21-2-3 on the season as goaltender Ray Emery didn’t make it out of the first period as the speedy Oilers came out on top.
