The Chicago Blackhawks continued their current stretch of home games with a Thursday night tilt against the Seattle Kraken at the United Center. Fresh off a 5-2 win over the Calgary Flames on Tuesday night where Connor Bedard scored his second career hat trick, the Hawks looked to avenge a 3-1 loss to Seattle back Nov. 3. Spencer Knight started in goal for Chicago against Seattle’s Joey Daccord.

First period

The Hawks and Kraken finished the opening frame scoreless. Seattle outshot Chicago 9-7. Of note, late in the first period, Kraken defensemen Ryan Lindgren drilled Andre Burakovsky with a big hit. Burakovsky was slow to get up but eventually made it to the bench and went into the locker room, but would not return.

Second period

Early in the frame, Tyler Bertuzzi scored his 10th of the season to give the Hawks a 1-0 lead. The Hawks executed a perfect passing exhibition when Frank Nazar led the rush and fed Teuvo Teravainen, who dished to Bertuzzi for the finish at the 0:43 mark.

That same line scored the Hawks’ second goal of the period. With the Hawks on a power play, Bertuzzi outworked a Kraken player and made a strong pass with one hand on his stick that went across the goal mouth and found Teravainen for his fifth of the season at 10:07 to put the Hawks ahead, 2-0.

The Hawks took the two-goal lead into the locker room after 40 minutes. The Hawks outshot Seattle 13-6 in the second period and held a 20-15 edge after two.

Third period

Seattle got on the board when Tye Kartye scored his second goal of the season at 5:06. Brandon Montour fired a shot from the blue line that bounced in off Kartye to cut the Hawks’ lead to 2-1.

Seattle continued to control the period, and as a result, they tied it at 2-2 when Ryker Evans snapped a shot from the blue line through traffic and deflected in off Shane Wright and into the net. For Wright, it was his fifth of the season at 7:13.

Late in the third, Bedard had a partial breakaway and fanned on it and appeared to have been slashed. Bedard argued with the referee and pointed his stick in his face, which resulted in an unsportsmanlike penalty. On the power play, Jaden Schwartz scored his eighth of the season from in close and off a great pass by Montour at 17:42 to give Seattle a 3-2 lead. Seattle held on for the comeback win.

Analysis

It was a disappointing loss, as the Hawks completely folded in the third period. The story coming out of this contest will be the controversial no-call on Bedard’s breakaway, which led to his penalty that Seattle converted. However, before that happened, the game was tied and it was all Seattle in the third as the Hawks struggled to find their legs. It is possible the team ran out of gas after playing most of the game with just 10 forwards following the Burakovsky injury in the opening period. The Hawks need to forget about this one quickly as they head to New York for a Friday night game against the Buffalo Sabres. Puck drop is at 6 p.m. CST on CHSN with the radio call on 720 AM WGN.
