Bedard extended his point streak to seven games (15 points; six goals, nine assists), which is the second-longest of his NHL career behind a nine-game point streak last season (Dec. 21, 2024 – Jan. 10, 2025).<\/p>\n
The shutout was Knight\u2019s first this season and sixth in the NHL. It was also his first with the Blackhawks.<\/p>\n
Tyler Bertuzzi scored twice, and Andre Burakovsky had a goal and an assist for the Blackhawks (7-5-3), who have won two games in a row after starting their six-game road trip with three straight losses (0-2-1).<\/p>\n
Dustin Wolf made 23 saves for the Flames (4-10-2), who had won their past two and were shut out for the first time this season.<\/p>\n
Bertuzzi put the Blackhawks up 1-0 with a power-play goal at 12:32 of the first period when he tried to redirect a backdoor pass from Bedard at the left post, but the puck deflected off his left leg and into the net.<\/p>\n
Bertuzzi increased the lead to 2-0 at 1:11 of the third period when he lifted a cross-ice pass from Bedard past Wolf. It was his sixth goal in the past four games, and he also had a hat trick in the third period of Chicago\u2019s 5-2 win at the Vancouver Canucks on Wednesday.<\/p>\n
Burakovsky buried a wrist shot from the slot at 7:56 on another set-up from Bedard to make it 3-0.<\/p>\n
Bedard scored at 18:01 for the 4-0 final. He stole the puck from Flames forward Morgan Frost and made several moves before tucking the puck past Wolf.<\/p>\n
Blackhawks forward Frank Nazar left the game in the first period after colliding with Flames forward Joel Farabee.<\/p>\n
Calgary defenseman Zayne Parekh took a hit from Chicago forward Nick Foligno along the boards and left the game in the second period.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Bedard extended his point streak to seven games (15 points; six goals, nine assists), which is the second-longest…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":270359,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[556],"tags":[64,63,575,85],"class_list":{"0":"post-270358","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-nhl","8":"tag-au","9":"tag-australia","10":"tag-nhl","11":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/270358","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=270358"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/270358\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/270359"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=270358"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=270358"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=270358"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
