He gave Chicago a 1-0 lead at 4:20 of the first period while the teams skated 4-on-4.

                                      A no-look pass from Connor Bedard set up a perfect tic-tac-toe play that led to Nick Foligno’s game-winning goal. Bedard’s feed found Teuvo Teravainen at the right face-off circle, who quickly one-touched a pass to Foligno at the edge of the crease for the power-play tip-in, putting the Blackhawks up 3-0 just 43 seconds into the second period.
