Blackhawks End Skid with 5-2 Victory Over Avalanche

Chicago capitalized on a strong first period to halt Colorado's five-game winning streak in Denver.

Ryan Donato led the Blackhawks with two goals and an assist, contributing significantly to the win.
Chicago's defense and goaltending, particularly Petr Mrazek's 24 saves, were key in holding the Avalanche scoreless in the final two periods.
The Blackhawks snapped their four-game losing streak and ended a six-game losing streak in Denver.
Colorado struggled offensively, missing leading scorer Ross Colton in the third period and failing to capitalize on scoring opportunities.
Nathan MacKinnon extended his points streak to 10 games, but it wasn't enough to overcome Chicago's early lead.
