Bedard Ices a Quiet Night as Stars Shut Out Chicago
Dallas blanks the Blackhawks at the United Center, and Chicago's forward logs more minutes than any other forward on the roster.
Connor Bedard went without a point in a 4-0 loss to the Stars at the United Center. He finished a -1 with two shots on goal, one blocked shot and one giveaway.
He played 20:44 over 19 shifts. That was third among Chicago's 18 skaters and first among the team's 12 forwards. Of his two shots, one came at even strength and one on the power play. He had no hits and no takeaways.
This was a step down from what he had done earlier. He came in with one goal and two assists in three games, and the goal came on the power play. Tonight the power play gave him a shot and nothing more.
The night was ordinary for him in ice time, since his season average is 20.3 minutes a game. The result was the difference. Chicago drops to 3-6-0, still seventh in the wild-card race, while Dallas moves to 4-3-1 and has won two straight.
