Connor Bedard scored a power-play goal, and the Chicago Blackhawks defeated the Tampa Bay Lightning 4-1. Chicago snapped a seven-game road losing streak with the win.
Connor Bedard scored a power-play goal and sparked the Chicago Blackhawks to a 4-1 victory over the Tampa Bay Lightning on Wednesday night. Chicago also scored for just the third time in 18 games this season when trailing after the first period. \'Obviously, it was a big game for them there,' Bedard said on his postgame interview on the Chicago Sports Network, referring to the Lightning .'It's a pretty tight race for the playoffs. They were playing hard, and we were playing hard.
We have a lot of pride in ourselves. But that makes it fun, though.' The 19-year-old Bedard, the No. 1 overall pick in the 2023 draft, sparked the Blackhawks on a power play midway through the second period. He drifted to near the bottom of the right circle before firing a shot through a tiny window that got past goaltender Andrei Vasilevskiy. 'I saw enough room for the puck to go in,' Bedard said of the angle he took on the goal.'It was late in the power play, and just thought I'd give it a go. I've tried that shot a million times and I finally put one in.' \Slaggert put the Blackhawks ahead late in the second period, and Donato scored midway through the third. Teravainen added an empty-netter, and Soderblom made it all hold up. 'He's been unbelievable, every game,' Bedard said of his goaltender.'We have so much confidence in him. But I thought our group played well. ... To be able to come in here and get a win? It's huge.' Chicago snapped a seven-game skid on the road (0-6-1). Its last victory away from home had been Dec. 9 at the New York Rangers
