Thanks to a spectacular four-point performance, including two goals, from prodigy Connor Bedard, the Chicago Blackhawks offered themselves a 5-3 victory against the Tampa Bay Lightning on Thursday night.
At the very end of the first period, the top of the class in the National Hockey League’s most recent amateur auction received Nick Foligno’s pass before thwarting Jonas Johansson with a backhand. See Connor Bedard’s highlights above.

With this goal, Bedard became the youngest player in Blackhawks history to score at least two goals in the same game. Before that, he had already amassed a goal and an assist. He then assisted in Corey Perry’s goal during the first moments of the second period.
The latter also made his return to Amalie Arena for the first time since the exchange which brought him with the Illinois organization.
However, things started well for Jon Cooper’s troops, taking a 1-0 lead thanks to Anthony Cirelli while 3:20 had passed during the initial engagement. Nikita Kucherov responded to Bedard’s equalizer, but it was Steven Stamkos, in the third period, who was the last Bolts player to make the red light shine in the match.
The “Hawks” will cross swords with the Panthers on Sunday. As for the Lightning, they will host the Carolina Hurricanes on Saturday.
The Canucks are still rolling
Despite a clear domination of the Ottawa Senators in terms of shots, Casey DeSmith closed the door by making 28 saves on 30 shots, allowing the Vancouver Canucks to win 5 to 2 at the Canadian Tire Centre.
Once again, the Ottawa club did not give up, coming from behind after being down 2-0 after three minutes of play, thanks to Drake Batherson and Artem Zub.
However, the British Columbia franchise did not let the return of the local favorites discourage them, scoring three unanswered goals en route to victory. In this victory, Elias Pettersson continued to impress, making the red light sparkle once, in addition to adding two assists.
The Swedish star now has 24 points in 13 games.
Ilya Mikheyev twice propelled the puck into Anton Forsberg’s net. JT Miller and Brock Boeser were the other two scorers for the Canucks.
A hat trick for Charlie Coyle
Thanks to three goals from forward Charlie Coyle, the Boston Bruins recorded their 11th victory in 13 games this season, beating the New York Islanders by a score of 5 to 2.
The number 13 of the Massachusetts team completed his hat trick at the very end of the match in an empty net.
The third period was simply fatal for the Islanders. Despite the equalizer to bring the score to 2-2 after 2:50 in the last period, David Pastrnak’s goal less than 60 seconds later simply saw them through.
This net also turned out to be the winning goal in this duel.
The Bruins will face the Montreal Canadiens on Saturday evening at the Bell Centre.
