The Blackhawks and Canadiens meet in an entertaining early-season shootout in the Stadium, which ends in a 6-6 tie. Denis Savard stars against his hometown team with a four point night (including two pretty goals), Wayne Presley celebrates his return from a brief banishment to the minors by scoring his first two goals of the season, including the game-tying goal, and Guy Carbonneau and Mats Naslund each score twice for Montreal.
