The Chicago Blackhawks ended their 22-game road losing streak with a 5-2 victory over the Coyotes, highlighted by four power-play goals and 38 saves from Arvid Söderblom. Connor Bedard was notably active, contributing significantly with his second assist of the game. However, their momentum was short-lived as they faced a 4-1 defeat against the Capitals in the following game. Despite Bedard's 15 shot attempts and a penalty drawn, the Blackhawks couldn't overcome the early deficit. The Capitals' win was supported by goals from Lapierre, Sgarbossa, Wilson, and Milano, with Lindgren making 29 stops. The Capitals' youth and call-ups, along with Carlson's 2 assists and Protas' 2 assists, played a key role. The Blackhawks' road winning streak ended at one, and they look forward to their next game at home.
