Last night, the Chicago Blackhawks faced a tough game against the St. Louis Blues, ending with a 5-2 loss for the Blackhawks. Things started off really rough for the Blackhawks, with the Blues scoring on their first four shots of the game, yes, you read that right.
During the game, rookie sensation Connor Bedard took a big hit from St. Louis Blues forward Tyler Tucker. This was especially tough for Bedard, who's still recovering from a broken jaw and is still wearing a face shield for protection.
But, Blackhawks defenseman Alex Vlasic stepped in to defend Bedard. He dropped the gloves and fought Tucker, although it did not end in his favor.

The Blackhawks will take this experience and hopefully figure out a rhythm within the last few weeks of the season.
