CHICAGO \u2014 Ilya Mikheyev had a goal and three assists for the Chicago Blackhawks as they beat the San Jose Sharks 6-3 on Monday at the United Center.<\/p>\n
Ryan Donato had two goals and an assist for the Blackhawks, who ended a two-game losing streak. Connor Bedard<\/a>, Connor Murphy, and Sam Rinzel also scored. Spencer Knight<\/a> stopped 24 shots for the win.<\/p>\n Macklin Celebrini had a goal and an assist for the Sharks, who dropped their third straight game and are 1-2-1 on the current road trip. Will Smith and Shakir Mukhamadullin<\/a> also scored for the Sharks, and Yaroslav Askarov made six saves on 10 shots before being replaced by Alex Nedeljkovic, who made five saves.<\/p>\n The Sharks got into penalty trouble<\/a> early, which threw off their rhythm. Although the Blackhawks only potted one PPG, the Sharks couldn\u2019t get their game on a consistent level. Team defense struggled in front of Askarov, who couldn\u2019t get a bailout save, whether or not it was his fault.<\/p>\n The Sharks will face the Colorado Avalanche, the best team in the NHL, in their final game before the Olympic break on Wednesday.<\/p>\n Bedard gave the Blackhawks a 1-0 lead seven minutes into the first period with a power-play goal. Teuvo\u00a0Teravainen found Bedard at the bottom of the left face-off circle for the one-timer.<\/p>\n Connor Bedard buries his 23rd of the season \ud83d\udde3\ufe0f\ud83d\udde3\ufe0f\ud83d\udde3\ufe0f pic.twitter.com\/UXqIOCCQEd<\/a><\/p>\n — Sportsnet (@Sportsnet) February 3, 2026<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n
