Heinen's first goal for the night came just 21 seconds into the first period. From there, the Canucks didn't look back. They had a 3-1 lead by the 10:46 mark of the first period. That slow start ruined the Hawks' chances of winning.

The Chicago Blackhawks gave up too much on defense – four goals in the 1st period – and put up too little on the power play (1-for-5).

Vancouver has now won three consecutive games, and is playing solid hockey in front of Kevin Lankinen, who started his third consecutive game on Tuesday night — all of them wins — and seems poised to get some run as the club’s first-choice starter.
