SALT LAKE CITY (AP) --- Connor Bedard scored off a rebound off a post at 3:57
of overtime to give the Chicago Blackhawks a 3-2 victory over the Utah Mammoth
on Thursday night.
Bedard, Tyler Bertuzzi and Frank Nazar each had a goal and an assist and
Spencer Knight stopped 29 shots to help the Blackhawks sweep the season series
in their third meeting with Utah in 12 days.
In the 3-on-3 overtime, Alex Vlasic blasted a shot off the post, Bedard
controlled the rebound and snapped it into the net. The young star then pounded
on the glass in celebration.
Dylan Geunther and JJ Peterka scored for Utah, and Karel Vejmelka made 20
saves. The Mammoth hold the first wild card in the Western Conference --- six
points ahead of San Jose.
Bertuzzi tied it at 1 on a 4-on-3 power play 2:18 into the third period. He
leads the NHL with 10 road power-play goals.
Nazar gave Chicago a 2-1 lead at 9:17 to extend his points streak to a
career-best five games. Peterka tied it with 6:15 remaining.
Guenther opened the scoring with his 31st at 5:47 of the second.
Up next Chicago: Visits Vegas on Saturday night. Utah: Hosts Pittsburgh on Saturday night. |
