The match against Winnipeg played during the night against Sunday ended 2–4.

It was a bit nervous but it was a good nervous energy, said Sörensen after the match, according to nhl.com.

He said that both the players and the staff around the team have welcomed him in a good way and that the premiere as an NHL coach was exciting.

It was exciting but it didn't turn out to be the result we wanted, said Anders Sörensen.

The 49-year-old from Södertälje was appointed as Chicago's temporary coach when the previous coach Luke Richardson was fired on Thursday. Anders Sörensen has previously been the head coach of Chicago's farm team Rockford since November 2021.

Chicago is last in the NHL and has now lost five matches in a row.
