The Blackhawks celebrated Pride night, honoring the city's gay community, without the rainbow-colored Pride night warmup jerseys nor colored stick tape used in previous seasons. On Thursday, the team announced they wouldn't wear them, citing an anti-gay Kremlin law signed by Russian President Vladimir Putin in December that could imperil Russian athletes when they return home.
Defenseman Nikita Zaitsev was the only Russian-born Blackhawk in the lineup on Sunday. Injured center Philipp Kurashev holds dual Swiss-Russian citizenship.
"Listen, I'm happy we won," Vancouver coach Rick Tocchet said. "I just didn't like our start. We came on at the end." Rookie Lukas Reichel scored his fifth goal of the season to pull Chicago within 3-2 with 1:42 remaining, but an empty-net goal by Vancouver's Boeser finished the scoring.Blackhawks defenseman Jarred Tinordi went to the locker room with an injury midway through the second period and did not return.
