On Sunday night, the Chicago Blackhawks captured an exciting 4-2 win against Anaheim Ducks to record two straight victories in Southern California. Led by 19-year-old Connor Bedard with three assists leading their young talent charge – while Teuvo Teravainen ended a 10-game goal drought while Teuvo Teravainen ended it just minutes later and Isaak Phillips, Ryan Donato, Seth Jones each contributed goals pushing their record up three wins out of four!
Impressive Individual Performances
Arvid Soderblom stood tall by notching his first win of the year against Anaheim Ducks by stopping 37 shots aimed at his net. Taylor Hall played an integral part by contributing two assists for goals scored. When facing off against them though, Brock McGinn and Mason McTavish scored twice for Anaheim; Lukas Dostal earned 25 saves as goaltender of Anaheim in this effort.
Instrumental Players: Bedard and Teravainen
Connor Bedard’s outstanding game tied him with Bobby Hull for the second-most multi-assist games by a teenager in Blackhawks history, an impressive feat matched only by Patrick Kane. Teravainen, meanwhile, found the back of the net late in the first period, marking his fourth goal of the season after a series of games that saw him quiet on the scoring front.
Game Highlights
Starting the scoring off was Isaak Phillips with an early snap shot goal for Chicago to gain the advantage. Unfortunately for them though, their attempts at protecting their net were unsuccessful due to Tyler Bertuzzi blocking Dostal from making his save and Bedard scoring his 16th multipoint game – only Eddie Olczyk and Patrick Kane can surpass that mark among Blackhawks teenagers!
Looking Forward
Chicago Blackhawks’ recent victory sets them up well to take on Detroit, while Anaheim Ducks prepare to face Vancouver. Recent Blackhawk performances, especially against Anaheim in past games, suggest they may be an up and coming team, boasting promising young talent that should pay dividends later.
