Alex DeBrincat gives victory to new Blackhawks coach

(Chicago) Alex DeBrincat scored 37 seconds into overtime and the Chicago Blackhawks prevailed 2-1 over the Nashville Predators on Sunday.



DeBrincat completed a two-on-one with Patrick Kane, scoring his seventh goal of the season.

The evening ended well for Derek King, who was making his debut as a head coach in the National League. Jeremy Colliton was fired on Saturday.

Brandon Hagel of the Hawks hit the mark at 7:15 in the second period, but Alexandre Carrier leveled the score less than two minutes later.

The 25-year-old Quebecer maneuvered behind the goal and rushed towards Kevin Lankinen on the left, earning a first goal this season, a second in his career.

Lankinen made 20 saves; Juuse Saros blocked 30 shots.
