Bertuzzi and Teuvo Teravainen have been solid signings for Hawks general manager Kyle Davidson, but the rest of his moves have added very little this season.
Tyler Bertuzzi scored two power-play goals and the Chicago Blackhawks beat the slumping Vegas Golden Knights 5-3 to end a four-game losing streak.
The Chicago Blackhawks ended their losing streak Saturday night, Jan. 18, by defeating the Pacific Division powerhouse Las Vegas Golden Knights, 5-3. I will be honest about my reaction to this game: it's one of overexcitement.
Seth Jones scored the go-ahead goal in the second period and also had two assists and Tyler Bertuzzi scored twice as the Chicago Blackhawks snapped a four-game losing streak with a 5-3 victory over the visiting Vegas Golden Knights on Saturday night.
Söderblom was the primary reason the Blackhawks were up at all. He made 34 saves — stopping all 26 shots he saw in the last two periods, including 15 in the third — to take the victory. Per Evolving Hockey, Söderblom saved 2.74 goals above expected in the game.
Although the Hawks lost again Sunday — 4-2 to the Wild — their increasingly large number of rookies are learning lessons that should benefit them in the future.
