"We have star players, too, that don’t seem to be protected as well as some of the other teams’ stars," Blackhawks captain Foligno said.

The Blackhawks signed Bertuzzi with the hope that he could be a good option to play with Bedard and would be a solid net-front presence. It took a little time to adjust, but Bertuzzi is capitalizing now.

The Chicago Blackhawks went more than 17 minutes before recording their first shot on goal — after giving up another short-handed goal to the Carolina Hurricanes’ Seth Jarvis.

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.

Earlier in the week, the Blackhawks traded Taylor Hall to the Hurricanes, and Connor Bedard is now reacting to the move.

At the time of Davidson's speech, the Blackhawks sit dead-last in the NHL standings with a 15-29-5 record and 35 total points, albeit with four games in hand over the 31st-ranked San Jose Sharks.

The radical cost-cutting and firings at CNN that left anchor Jim Acosta without a show and headed for the exits on Tuesday are the latest examples of how President Donald Trump and his long-running campaign against “fake news” have finally hit paydirt.

Bedard has 18 points (seven goals, 11 assists) in his past 17 games, and he's on a three-game, three-point run (one goal, two assists). Bedard is essentially doing things on his own in Chicago, and even more so now that they're dismantling the team for yet another high draft pick.
