He has 18 points (seven goals, 11 assists) in his past eight games and 25 this season (nine goals, 16 assists), moving one point ahead of Nathan MacKinnon (Colorado Avalanche) and Macklin Celebrini (San Jose Sharks) for the scoring lead.

Dylan Larkin scored, and John Gibson made 15 saves for the Red Wings (9-7-0), who went 0-for-5 on the power play. They’ve lost three in a row and four of five.
Bedard gave Chicago an early 1-0 lead with a wrist shot from the right circle after Larkin was penalized for tripping Bertuzzi 26 seconds into the game.

Teravainen put the Blackhawks back in front with a power-play goal at 3:22 of the second period, one-timing Burakovsky’s feed in the right circle to make it 2-1.
