The game was delayed nearly an hour between the second and third periods because of poor ice conditions at Van Andel Arena.

Goaltender Max Lagace, who has had two stints with the Knights in their first two seasons, stopped 19 of 25 Grand Rapids shots.

There were 144 penalty minutes in the chippy contest, with Chicago drawing 76 of them.
