Nick Schmaltz gives 100 percent.
An all-out backcheck by the Chicago Blackhawks forward led to a nifty setup and a timely goal for teammate Patrick Kane, who opened the scoring against the Pittsburgh Penguins on Wednesday.
The goal marked 25 on the season for Kane, who's now reached that plateau for the fourth straight year.
