Blackhawks Take Down The Jets On The Back Of Bedard
Aside from the near tragedy involving Bedard and Scheifele, the two teams played a great game. The scoring was low but both sides played excellent hockey.
Connor Bedard got things started with his 14th goal of the year picking up his own rebound. The craziest part about this goal is how his initial opportunity was a between-the-legs shot and then Bedard had the dexterity to get his stick back and tuck home the rebound.

The Jets were able to respond in the second with a goal from Morgan Barron to tie things up at one apiece.
