Andrew Mangiapane scored his first goal as a Blackhawk since
being acquired in a trade from Edmonton last week, and Andre
Burakovsky lifted the puck on his stick lacrosse style and
flicked it into the net to tie the game at 2-2 late in the
second period. It was his first goal since Jan. 7, a span of 19
games.
Drew Commesso, making his third start of the season and first
since Jan. 10 when he had his first career shutout in a 3-0 win
over Nashville, made 22 saves. Connor Bedard had two assists for
Chicago, including one on Nazar's winner.
Barrett Hayton and Dylan Guenther scored for Utah, which is
battling for a wild-card playoff spot in the Western Conference
and had won the first three games of a five-game road trip.
Vitek Vanecek had 23 saves.
Guenther has now scored a team-leading 30 goals this season, the
first time in his career he has reached that mark. He has scored
in three of four games on the road trip, with six points in
those contests (3 goals, 3 assists).
Chicago, which had lost three in a row including a 4-3 setback
to Dallas on Sunday night, has now won all three meetings with
Utah this season, with the teams' fourth and final game of the
season scheduled for Thursday night.
Chicago played without Spencer Knight (illness) and Oliver
Moore, who left Sunday’s game in first period.
