Overview
- Connor Bedard recorded his second hat trick of the season, including the third-period winner and an empty-netter, giving him seven goals in six games and 13 on the year.
- Chicago improved to 5-0-1 in its last six games while playing without captain Nick Foligno (injured reserve, left hand) and fellow forwards Jason Dickinson and Tyler Bertuzzi.
- A puck-handling error by Dustin Wolf led to Bedard’s second-period goal, and the Calgary goaltender finished with 18 saves on a difficult night.
- Ryan Donato and Oliver Moore also scored for the Blackhawks, while Rasmus Andersson and Matt Coronato tallied for the Flames as Arvid Soderblom made 19 saves for Chicago.
- Calgary dropped to 1-4-1 over its past six and remains last in the NHL, heading to Buffalo on Wednesday, while Chicago hosts Seattle on Thursday.
