"Connor Bedard had an assist on the first goal of the night and came out of the room absolutely flying to start the second period. If the Jets didn't have the best goaltender on the planet on the ice, the Blackhawks might have had a four-goal lead in the first half of the period."
"Bedard set up the Blackhawks' go-ahead goal just 32 seconds into the third period. The Hawks held onto their lead long enough that Connor Hellebuyck went to the Winnipeg bench with 85 seconds left for an extra attacker."
"The only reason Bedard didn't have more than an assist on the board after two periods was Hellebuyck. He had three scoring chances and two high danger chances in the second period alone. He had an assist on the each of the Blackhawks' first two goals of the night."
Special teams play defined the opening period, with Winnipeg scoring during 4-on-4 time before Teuvo Teräväinen tied the game on a Blackhawks power play. Connor Bedard assisted on Chicago's first goal and dominated the second period, generating multiple high-danger chances that were thwarted by Winnipeg goaltender Connor Hellebuyck. Bedard set up Ryan Greene's go-ahead goal 32 seconds into the third period. Despite Tyler Bertuzzi's crucial blocked shot late in regulation, Winnipeg tied the game with 39.6 seconds remaining, and Mark Scheifele won in overtime.
