Chicago Blackhawks veteran Tyler Bertuzzi went after Bolts forward Michael Eyssimont for slamming Connor Bedard into the boards during Tuesday's matchup.
It's official, Connor Bedard is cracked. The 19 year old Chicago Blackhawks forward scored an absolutely ridiculous goal this evening against Tampa Bay Lightning goaltender Andrei Vasilevsky. Sick, sick, sick stuff right there from a very talented teenager.
Bertuzzi leads the Blackhawks in goals through 47 games with 17 and has 27 points. While he's effective scoring at 5-on-5 with nine goals playing the way he does, his net front presence on the power play has allowed him to get eight goals with the man advantage this season too.
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.
Chicago Blackhawks forward Tyler Bertuzzi voiced a sincere statement on playing alongside Connor Bedard on team's first line.
