In his fourth game as the Blackhawks head coach, Colliton picked up his first NHL career win with a 1-0 victory over the Blues on Wednesday night at the United Center.
Brent Seabrook scored a power-play goal and Corey Crawford recorded a shutout with a 28-save performance to snap Chicago’s eight-game losing streak and three-game slid under Colliton.
It’s Crawford’s 24th career NHL shutout and his first since he blanked the Wild on Nov. 4, 2017.
The Blackhawks promoted Colliton to the head post from the AHL after firing Joel Quenneville on Nov. 6. Chicago dropped its first three games with Colliton — 4-3 to Carolina, 4-0 in Philadelphia and 3-2 in overtime in Carolina.
Chicago continues its homestand Friday when they host the Kings at the United Center.
