Detroit takes advantage of Chicago's mistake in OT and puts it in the back of the net. Doesn't look good for Chicago.

The 'hawks got it to OT this time. Now they have a couple of days of home cookin' to buckle down and get stronger. Otherwise, it's gonna be one quick series ...

det.png 3 - Rafalski, B. (PPG, 16:43 in 1st), Cleary, D. (14:06 in 2nd), Samuelsson, M. (05:14 in 1st OT)

This one was a tougher loss than the Game 1 defeat because the Hawks did so many things right, only to lose because of a couple of bad turnovers.

"It's a brutal loss today," Hawks coach Joel Quenneville said. "We did a lot of right things. We still can't be satisfied with certain things. We have a couple of days to gather some momentum, and we have to build on the things we did well. But right now, it's a tough one."

All Detriot has done so far is maintain home ice. Can Chicago match that?
