Blackhawks Game Day
Blackhawks Game 19: Bertuzzi Update; Preview; Lineups; How To Watch vs. Flames
The Chicago Blackhawks (9-5-4) continue their current four-game homestand against the Calgary Flames (5-12-3) at the United Center on Tuesday night.
It’s the second meeting between these two teams in 11 days, with the Blackhawks winning the first matchup 4-0 at Scotiabank Saddledome on Nov. 7. Connor Bedard led the way with four points (1G, 3A), while Spencer Knight stopped all 33 shots faced to earn his first shutout as a member of the Blackhawks. Tyler Bertuzzi (2G) and Andre Burakovsky (1G, 1A) also recorded two points in the win.
Last time out, the Blackhawks defeated the Toronto Maple Leafs 3-2 on Saturday night, thanks to a clutch third-period comeback. After trailing 2-1 through 40 minutes, Teuvo Teravainen and Colton Dach scored in the final frame to lift the Hawks to their fourth win in the last five games. The victory also moved Chicago to 9-3-3 in the past 15 contests since a 0-2-1 start to the season.
Calgary entered the first tilt 11 days ago as the worst team in the NHL. Nothing has changed there, as they still sit at the bottom of the league standings with only 13 points through 20 games. The Flames are coming off a 4-3 shootout loss to the Winnipeg Jets on Saturday, moving their record in November to a modest 3-4-1. However, they have scored only seven goals over their last five games coming into Tuesday.
Here’s everything to note before puck drops at 7:30 p.m. CT in Chicago.
Blackhawks Regular Season Notes (Last Five Games)
- Spencer Knight was stellar in the opening 40 minutes, and Tyler Bertuzzi recorded a third-period hat trick to lift the Blackhawks to their first win on the current road trip. Finally, the losing streak to the Vancouver Canucks has ended.
- Connor Bedard EXPLODED for a four-point performance, while Spencer Knight recorded his first shutout with the Blackhawks in a 4-0 win over the Calgary Flames. Bedard is now second in the NHL with 22 points, and Knight continues to play at a Vezina-level early this season.
- The Blackhawks closed out their road trip with three consecutive wins after a 5-1 victory against the Detroit Red Wings. Connor Bedard momentarily jumped into the NHL lead in points after recording one goal and two assists at Little Caesars Arena.
- Andre Burakovsky, Jason Dickinson, and Frank Nazar were all out with injuries, but the Blackhawks still managed to claw their way to a point in a 4-3 overtime loss to the New Jersey Devils.
- Clutch third-period goals from Teuvo Teravainen and Colton Dach lifted the Blackhawks to a 3-2 comeback win over the Toronto Maple Leafs. However, the Hawks lost captain Nick Foligno in the process, as he’s set to miss an extended period with a hand injury.
