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.
Chicago Blackhawks forward Tyler Bertuzzi voiced a sincere statement on playing alongside Connor Bedard on team's first line.
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.

Bertuzzi and Teuvo Teravainen have been solid signings for Hawks general manager Kyle Davidson, but the rest of his moves have added very little this season.
Tyler Bertuzzi starts seasons slowly. He did when he played for the Detroit Red Wings who drafted him in 2013. He did after joining new clubs like the Boston Bruins in 2022 and the Toronto Maples in 2023.
Bertuzzi produced a pair of assists, five shots on goal, two hits and a plus-2 rating in Thursday's 3-2 shootout loss to the Predators. Bertuzzi helped out on second-period tallies by Connor Bedard and Alec Martinez.
