Bedard's Four Points, Knight's Shutout Lift Blackhawks to 4-0 Win in Calgary

Calgary's league-worst offense faltered again against a locked-in Spencer Knight.

Overview

  • Connor Bedard had a goal and three primary assists as Spencer Knight stopped 33 shots for his first shutout of the season and sixth of his career.
  • Tyler Bertuzzi scored twice, including a 2-on-1 finish set up by Bedard, and Andre Burakovsky added another off an odd-man rush before Bedard capped the scoring late.
  • The victory gives Chicago a second straight win on its road trip, with Bedard extending his points streak and moving into the NHL scoring lead territory reported by Canadian outlets.
  • Calgary outshot Chicago but was blanked at home, dropping to 4-10-2 and remaining last in both goals per game (about 2.19) and the overall standings.
  • Both teams had injury concerns as Blackhawks center Frank Nazar left in the first period and was described as day-to-day, while Flames rookie Zayne Parekh exited with an upper-body injury and did not return.
