Colton Dach scored late to give the Chicago Blackhawks (9-5-4) the 3-2 victory on home ice over the Toronto Maple Leafs (8-9-2). Dach’s goal was his second of season in 18 games played.
“That was pretty cool,” Dach said after the win. “That was a good comeback by the guys. I think, like I said, we’re having a lot of fun. We have great chemistry. We just got to keep riding with it and good things will happen.”
Chicago has now gone 4-0-1 in their last five games after goaltender Spencer Knight stopped 31 shots against the Maple Leafs.
First period
Ryan Greene started the scoring for Chicago with a snap shot after Artyom Levshunov made a great play, dragging tired defenders toward him and their eyes to him and slid a pass through the defenders, finding Greene at the bottom of the circle. Greene’s second goal of the season was assisted by Levshunov and defensman Wyat Kaiser.

Toronto scored with 0:48 left in the first period when Nicholas Robertson scored his fifth goal of the season off a wrist shot that beat Knight. The goal was assisted by John Tavares.
Second period
Morgan Rielly scored his third of the season at the 9:37 mark of the middle period on a wrist shot that beat Knight. The goal, assisted by Oliver Ekman-Larssson and William Nylander, was the only action of the second period and the “comeback kids” once again found themselves down 2-1 going into the third period.
Third period
Teuvo Teravainen buried home a flip shot past Toronto goaltender Joseph Woll with an assist from Frank Nazar and Oliver Moore. Teravainen found himself down low and roofed a sweet shot over the helpless Woll.

Chicago is back on home ice versus the struggling Calgary Flames for a 7:30 p.m. CST puck drop on Tuesday.
Analysis
Connor Bedard was held without a point for the first time in 10 games but the young phenom still shows with his skill and speed that he can affect games in so many ways, even without denting the scoresheet.
Knight has shown flashes of brilliance with his .924 save percentage. Knight has looked cool and collected and not fighting the puck after giving up goals, something he was known to do in his first few seasons in the NHL. The 24-year-old Darien, Connecticut, product continually sees over 30 shots per night but has been a brick wall as the young defensemen continue to figure out their games.
