Corey Perry, Tyler Johnson and MacKenzie Entwistle scored in the second period, and the Chicago Blackhawks beat the Toronto Maple Leafs 4-1 on Monday night. Taylor Raddysh added an empty-netter for Chicago (2-2-0), and Arvid Soderblom made 34 stops. “Fun game to play,” Soderblom said.
With Bobby Orr and Phil Esposito and other hockey greats in the building to celebrate the start of the Bruins' 100th season, Blackhawks phenom Connor Bedard took another early step toward joining them on Wednesday night when he scored his first career NHL goal. “It’s a big relief,” said Bedard, who posed with the puck in the locker room after the 3-1 loss to Boston. David Pastrnak scored to break a second-period tie and added an empty-netter for Boston, which won its season opener a year after setting NHL records for wins and points but then losing in the first round of the playoffs.
