Bedard took Ryan Greene’s short pass and whipped a 25-foot wrist
shot past Linus Ullmark for a 5-3 Chicago lead 3:46 into the
final period. It completed his first NHL hat trick in his 160th
career game on a night when he became only the seventh
Blackhawks player to score at least 50 goals before turning 21.
Ottawa had won three in a row. Tim Stutzle had a goal and an
assist for the Senators, and Jake Sanderson also scored.
Bedard’s exploits made up for the Blackhawks’ second-period
swoon, when they allowed three goals on as many shots in 3:33,
letting the Senators back into the game.
Sanderson beat Spencer Knight on a 55-foot slap shot that
caromed off the end boards and Knight’s left elbow. Michael
Amadio got his second of the season at 7:09, and Stutzle made it
4-3 with a wrist shot from the right circle at 8:31.
The Blackhawks had built a 4-0 lead on Dach’s rebound shot off a
Crevier drive, followed by a Crevier goal that caromed off
Ottawa’s Nikolas Matinpalo, and Bedard’s first two goals, the
first on a power play, the second a wrist shot past Ullmark 2:58
into the second period.
Knight stopped 21 shots, and Ullmark made 19 saves.
Chicago captain Nick Foligno reached 600 career points with his
assist on Dach’s goal.
Up next
Senators: Host Calgary on Thursday night.
Blackhawks: At Winnipeg on Thursday night.
