In the third period, Bedard took down Erik Černák with his stick while the defenseman was advancing with the puck. Eyssimont didn’t like Bedard’s play and came to support his teammate by shoving the Hawks star into the board after he touched up.

Tyler Bertuzzi quickly supported Connor Bedard by grabbing Eyssimont and shoving him behind the goal line.

Connor Bedard shines as Blackhawks down Lightning

On Tuesday, the Tampa Bay Lightning hosted the Chicago Blackhawks at Amalie Arena. The Hawks beat the Lightning 4-1 and snapped their three-game losing streak.

Brayden Point opened the scoring for the Bolts, putting them ahead 1-0 at 3:34 into the first period. Connor Bedard scored for the Blackhawks, tying it 1-1 at 10:19 into the second period.

“We played them good last game,” Bedard said via NHL.com. “When you play a team kind of back to back like that almost, it’s motivation to get a win when they beat you. So it was good to come in here and do that.”

With less than two minutes remaining in the second, Landon Slaggert put the Blackhawks ahead 2-1. Coming into the final period, Ryan Donato made it 3-1 at 8:02 before Teuvo Teravainen’s late empty-net goal sealed the win for the Blackhawks.
