Connor Bedard had a goal and an assist, and the Chicago Blackhawks beat the Colorado Avalanche 3-1 on Wednesday night.
Frank Nazar and Ilya Mikheyev also scored for host Chicago, which had lost six of seven. Petr Mrazek stopped 35 shots.
Bedard made it 3-1 when he beat Trent Miner for his 11th goal 11:54 into the third period. The 19-year-old center has four goals and seven assists during an eight-game point streak, a career-best run in his second season.
Juuso Parssinen scored for Colorado in the opener of a three-game trip. Miner stopped 17 shots in his first career start.
The Avs played without Jonathan Drouin, who was sidelined by an upper-body injury. They dropped to 12-4-1 in their last 17 games.
Colorado jumped in front when Parssinen converted a backhand 6:14 into the first period. It was his first goal since being acquired in a trade with Nashville on Dec. 28.
Mikheyev responded with his eighth of the season with 3:12 left in the first.
Nazar lifted the Blackhawks to a 2-1 lead 10:17 into the second. Colton Dach got his first NHL point when his shot created a rebound opportunity for a streaking Nazar, who knocked it in for his second career goal.
CAPITALS 2, CANUCKS 1: Pierre-Luc Dubois scored his second goal of the game late in overtime, Logan Thompson made 30 saves and Washington beat visiting Vancouver despite another sluggish performance.
Dubois ended it with 40.3 seconds left in the 3-on-3 OT, long after scoring on Lankinen with 32.7 seconds remaining in the first period. Thompson stopped 20 of the 21 shots he faced in the second period alone, and Washington was lucky to avoid another loss while managing just 18 on net.
Lankinen made 16 saves and Conor Garland scored the only goal for the Canucks, who have lost three in a row and eight of their past 10 games.
