Bedard, Knight Propel Blackhawks Past Wild 2-1 in Minnesota
TL;DR
Connor Bedard and Ilya Mikheyev scored for the Blackhawks while Spencer Knight stood tall in goal as Chicago defeated the Minnesota Wild 2-1 in Minnesota, snapping the Wild’s longer point streak against the Hawks. The win featured a strong opening period, a young, physical lineup (including Levshunov and Del Mastro) and a tense late stretch where Chicago killed a 5-on-3 penalty. Kirill Kaprizov was day-to-day for Minnesota, and the Hawks’ win marked their first at Minnesota since 2017, with Bedard delivering a showtime second period and Knight sealing the victory.
