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.

Vejmelka made 20 saves. The Mammoth hold the first wild card in

streak to a career-best five games. Peterka tied it with 6:15
remaining.
