Tyler Bertuzzi's Late Goal Lifts Blackhawks to Shootout Win Against Kings, Snapping Seven-Game Skid

Saturday, November 2nd, 2024

During a dramatic conclusion, Tyler Bertuzzi scored with only 31 seconds remaining in the third period, leading the Chicago Blackhawks to a narrow 4-3 win over the Los Angeles Kings.

The Blackhawks pulled Petr Mrazek for an extra attacker, which allowed Bertuzzi to take advantage of a pass from Ryan Donato.

Connor Bedard, Teuvo Teravainen, and Ryan Donato all found the net during the shootout, earning the Blackhawks their second triumph in the last seven outings.

Alex Laferriere was impressive for the Kings, scoring twice, but his team couldn't manage a win to continue their home streak.

The Blackhawks showed their fighting spirit by overcoming a two-goal deficit in the third period with crucial goals from Nick Foligno and Craig Smith, hinting at a possible positive shift in their season trajectory.

Laferriere has become a key goal scorer for the Kings, having scored eight goals in 12 matches.

In a pivotal play, Donato waited deliberately and executed several fakes before successfully converting a penalty shot to clinch the victory for Chicago.

The Blackhawks ended a challenging run, having been 0-6-0 in games where they lagged after two periods, and also stopped a streak of seven consecutive losses when the opposition scored first.

Looking ahead, the Blackhawks are set to play the Ducks, while the Kings embark on a two-game road trip starting against the Predators.
