Blackhawks' Oliver Moore sets example with response to benching: 'He's so self-accountable'

Chicago Blackhawks forward Oliver Moore responded positively after being benched as a healthy scratch against the Florida Panthers. Coach Jeff Blashill used the benching to send a message about avoiding low-probability plays after a turnover against the Montreal Canadiens. Returning to the lineup on Tuesday, Moore earned praise from Blashill for his self-accountability and resilience during the Blackhawks' 2-1 victory over the Los Angeles Kings.

Moore skated on an effective new line alongside Frank Nazar and Patrick Kane, out-shooting opponents 10-1 during their shifts. While Moore remains at two goals and one assist through 11 games this season, both Kane and Blashill praised his exceptional speed and work ethic. Moore was also on the ice for Wyatt Kaiser's game-winning goal.
