CHICAGO (AP) --- Connor Bedard scored the tie-breaking goal at 9:55 of the
third period, added an empty-net score and had two assists as the Chicago
Blackhawks rallied from an early three-goal deficit to top the Anaheim Ducks
5-3 on Sunday and snap a five-game slide.
Tyler Bertuzzi, Ryan Greene and Colton Dach also scored as Chicago tied it 3 by
12:34 of the second. Chicago converted two of four power-play chances and
killed all three Anaheim advantages.
Bedard beat Ville Husso with a nifty move from the front of the crease to put
Chicago ahead 4-3 following a turnover by Alex Killorn. Husso had entered the
game 44 seconds earlier after starter Petr Mrazek exited with an undisclosed
injury.
Bedard fired into an empty net with 1:55 remaining to seal it.
Spencer Knight rebounded from a shaky start to finish with 23 saves.
Cutter Gauthier had a goal and an assist as the Ducks jumped out a 3-0 lead
midway through the first period.
Chris Kreider scored for the second straight game to give him 600 career
points. Olen Zellweger also scored and Troy Terry set up two goals to extend
his point streak to seven games.
Mrazek made stopped 13 of 16 of shots before exiting in his first start against
the Blackhawks since they traded him to Detroit in March. Anaheim No. 1 goalie
Lukas Dostal missed his third game with an upper-body injury.
Gauthier and Zellweger beat Knight on two of Anaheim's first three shots,
giving the Ducks a 2-0 lead 47 seconds in. Kreider's off-the-skate deflection
upped it to 3-0 at 10:25
Bertuzzi cut it to 3-1 with 2:03 left in the first, deflecting in a power-play
score. Greene made it 3-2 at 6:43 of the second, finishing a 2-on-1-break with
Bedard.
Dach tied it 3-all during a power-play at 12:34 of the second.
