Crosby, the future Hall of Famer who has
captained the Penguins to three Stanley Cups and opened his 19th
season, had a goal, while Bedard, the No. 1 overall pick in the
2023 NHL Draft who has been labeled as the latest generational
talent, tallied an assist for Chicago.
Nick Foligno had a goal and an assist, Ryan Donato and Cole
Guttman also scored and Corey Perry had two assists for the
Blackhawks.
Chicago goaltender Petr Mrazek made 38 saves.
In addition to Crosby, Bryan Rust scored for the Penguins.
Pittsburgh goaltender Tristan Jarry made 32 saves.
In the first, Kris Letang sent a pass toward the slot from the
right-wing boards next to the bottom of the right circle. Rust,
angling toward the near post, tipped the puck under Mrazek's
pads to give the Penguins a 1-0 lead at the 7:04 mark of the
period.
At 11:56 of the second, Crosby increased the Penguins' lead to
2-0. He took a pass from Jake Guentzel and swept the puck
between the skates of defenseman Alex Vlasic and past Mrazek's
outstretched stick.
The Blackhawks believed that Marcus Pettersson, who had the
secondary assist, was offside, but they lost the challenge.
Donato made it to 2-1 at 15:37 of the second, his first goal
with Chicago. At the top of the crease, he got a rebound of a
Vlasic shot and backhanded it past Jarry. Bedard got the
secondary assist.
At 10:05 of the third, Guttman tied it. Seth Jones' pass found
Guttman near the right hash marks, and he beat Jarry glove side.
Dickinson scored from the right dot while falling with a shot
that glanced off Jarry's glove to make it 3-2, and Foligno added
an empty-netter with 1:27 left.
