Watch Kevin Korchinski serve up an absolute beauty of a stretch pass to Lukas Reichel who beat Detroit netminder Alex Nedeljkovic easily for the goal:

Hearing Kevin Korchinski to Lukas Reichel for the goal is something that Blackhawks fans should get used to because it’s going to be a frequent phrase for new play-by-play man Chris Vosters in a few years.
