Landon Slaggert, Ryan Donato and Teuvo
Teravainen also scored for Chicago, which won for just the third
time in 18 games this season when trailing after the first
period.
The 19-year-old Bedard, the No. 1 overall pick in the 2023
draft, sparked the Blackhawks on a power play midway through the
second. He drifted to near the bottom of the right circle before
firing a shot through a tiny window that got past goaltender
Jonas Johansson and hit the left post for his 14th goal of the
season.
Johansson finished with 16 saves. Brayden Point scored early in
the first period for Tampa Bay, which has lost four of five.
Slaggert put the Blackhawks ahead late in the second and Donato
scored midway through the third. Teravainen added an
empty-netter.
