AGAINST VEGAS

The Blackhawks begin a four-game road trip on Tuesday night in Las Vegas. It will be the first of three meetings between the two clubs this season. Chicago has earned points in three of their last six games against Vegas at T-Mobile Arena (2-3-1). Ryan Donato is riding a three-game point streak against the Golden Knights (3G, 2A), including his first career NHL hat trick during their last meeting on March 28 at the United Center. Donato has also recorded seven points (4G, 3A) in his last six games against Vegas. Forward Tyler Bertuzzi has points in four of his last five games against Vegas (3G, 2A) and seven points (4G, 3A) over his last eight games against them.

LAST TIME OUT

Five unanswered goals helped the Blackhawks defeat the Anaheim Ducks, 5-3, on Sunday afternoon at the United Center. Connor Bedard recorded four points (2G, 2A), including two goals in the third period. Tyler Bertuzzi and Colton Dach each scored a power play goal. Ryan Greene also scored one goal while four other Blackhawks each posted one assist. Connor Murphy notched a season-high six blocked shots and Spencer Knight made 23 saves for his eighth victory of the season. Chicago penalty-killers went 3-for-3 (100%) on Sunday. The Blackhawks became the fifth team in league history to win a game after a deficit of 2-0 in the first minute of the game, joining Arizona (Nov. 6, 2021), Boston (Feb. 27, 1988), New Jersey (Dec. 19, 1986) and Edmonton (Dec. 5, 1984).

BED AND BREAKFAST

Connor Bedard recorded four points on Sunday against Anaheim (2G, 2A) and now shares second in the NHL with 37 points (16G, 21A) and fourth with 16 goals in 25 games in 2025-26. He also ranks first on the team in goals, assists and points. It was Bedard’s third game this season with four points which shares first in the NHL. He now has points (14G, 16A) in 13 of his last 17 games dating back to Oct. 26. His 30 points rank second in the NHL over that span, while his 13 goals share second.

SPECIAL K

The Blackhawks have recorded power play goals (11G) in eight of their last 12 games since Nov. 5 and rank third in the NHL with a power play percentage of 32.4% over that span. Forward Tyler Bertuzzi scored a power play goal on Sunday against Anaheim and is tied for second in the NHL with seven power play goals this season, six of which have come in his last 12 games. This is the second time in his career that Bertuzzi has scored at least seven power play markers in a season, while he’s three goals shy of tying his career high of 10, which he set last season.

PAPA MURPH

Defenseman Connor Murphy notched a season-high six blocked shots on Sunday and shares second on the team with 28 blocked shots this season. His six blocked shots are the most by a Blackhawks player this season and are tied for the fifth-most in a single game in his career.
