The Blackhawks, who were just 2-for-30 on the
power play before the game-winner, snapped a three-game losing
streak. Bedard, Ryan Donato and Taylor Raddysh also scored goals
for Chicago, while Petr Mrazek made 18 saves.
Shea Theodore and Karlsson each had a goal and an assist, and
Pavel Dorofeyev also scored for Vegas, which had won 28 straight
games when scoring three goals or more. Hill finished with 20
saves for the Golden Knights, who also had their NHL record for
consecutive wins to start a season by a defending Stanley Cup
champion snapped.
Vegas jumped out to a 2-0 lead in the first 3:52 on goals by
Dorofeyev, who redirected a pass in front of the crease by
Michael Amadio for his first goal of the season, and Karlsson,
who slightly deflected Theodore's slap shot from the right point
over Mrazek's glove.
The Blackhawks, who had scored just two first-period goals in
their first seven games, tied it, 2-2, later in the period with
two goals in 79 seconds. Donato got the first when he snapped a
wrist shot from the bottom of the left circle off a Corey Perry
pass through Hill's pads. Bedard followed with his third goal of
the season with a wrist shot from the slot past Hill's glove
side.
Raddysh then put Chicago in front, 3-2, at the 1:11 mark of the
third period after Theodore whiffed trying to pass out of his
own zone. Raddysh picked up the loose puck and skated down the
slot, firing a wrist shot past Hill's glove side for his second
goal of the season.
Theodore made up for his turnover at the 11:28 mark with his
third goal of the season, firing a wrist shot from the top of
the right circle that tipped in off the top of Mrazek's glove.
