CHICAGO — Max McCormick scored the go-ahead goal as the Ottawa Senators beat the Chicago Blackhawks 2-1 on Thursday in pre-season action.

McCormick went to the net and put back a rebound off a Dylan DeMelo point shot 2:58 into the third period to break a 1-1 tie.

Matt Duchene opened the scoring for Ottawa in the second period, evening the score after Jonathan Toews gave Chicago a 1-0 lead in the first.

Mike Condon made 27 saves for the win as Anton Forsberg stopped 21-of-23 shots in a losing cause.

Ottawa's Bobby Ryan, who has a history of hand injuries, blocked a Duncan Keith point shot with his right hand three minutes into the first and went to the bench in pain. He stayed in the game though and picked up an assist on Duchene's goal.

Both teams went 0 for 5 on the power play.
