In a closely contested hockey game, Philipp Kurashev scored for the Blackhawks at the netfront, narrowing the score gap to 2-1 after receiving a pass from Tyler Johnson, who had been assisted by Connor Bedard. The game saw a notable incident where Calen Addison pinned Bedard down for a comically long amount of time, leading to a scuffle that resulted in both Addison and Johnson receiving penalties for interference. Despite the tension, the Blackhawks managed to secure an empty-netter goal by Bedard in the final second of the game, thanks to a selfless play by Kurashev.

Tyler Johnson comes to the defense of Connor Bedard after Calen Addison pinned him down along the boards. Pretty soft penalty call on Johnson, who made it known to the official too. #Blackhawks https://t.co/4KjZJOnWhb
Addison is stuck on Bedard so Johnson shoves him over and the #SJSharks should be getting a PP but there could be some more after
Calen Addison was using Connor Bedard as a sled for a comically long amount of time, and Tyler Johnson stepped in. Both are headed to the box.
