Key Takeaways
- Chicago leads Winnipeg 2 to 0 late in the first period at the United Center, with 0:21 left on the clock at last check.
- Tyler Bertuzzi opened the scoring 1:48 into the game, assisted by Oliver Moore and Connor Bedard, his third goal of the season.
- Anton Frondell doubled the lead with 10:53 left in the period, assisted by Teuvo Teravainen, his fourth goal of the season.
- Mark Scheifele is still waiting for the record, with no points and no shots so far, still tied with Dale Hawerchuk at 929 career points.
- Spencer Knight has stopped all 8 Winnipeg shots; Stuart Skinner has stopped 5 of 7 for the Jets.
- Brayden Yager took a tripping penalty with 0:43 left, drawn by Connor Bedard, so Chicago closes the period on the power play.
Frondell Doubles the Lead
Anton Frondell made it 2 to 0 with 10:53 left in the first period, redirecting the puck past Stuart Skinner after Ryan Donato forced a turnover behind the Winnipeg net. Teuvo Teravainen picked up the assist on Frondell’s fourth goal of the season. The goal came less than eight minutes after the opener and put the Jets in a hole they have not climbed out of yet. Winnipeg had the better of the shot count at that point, but Chicago had the better of the scoreboard.
Bertuzzi Opens the Scoring
Tyler Bertuzzi needed only 1:48 to break the scoreless start, taking a pass on the rush and beating Skinner for his third goal of the season. Oliver Moore and Connor Bedard earned the assists. The goal set the tone for a fast Chicago start at the United Center, and the home crowd was loud from the opening shift.

Scheifele Still Waiting on the Record
Mark Scheifele came into this game one point from passing Dale Hawerchuk as the franchise’s all time scoring leader, and he is still waiting. Scheifele has no points and no shots through the late stages of the first period, and he sits at minus 2. The record chase is on hold while the Jets try to steady a game that has slipped away from them early.
What the Numbers Say Late in the First
Winnipeg leads the shot count 8 to 7, and the Jets have won 12 of 16 faceoffs, but none of it has turned into a goal. Spencer Knight has stopped all 8 Winnipeg shots, while Skinner has stopped 5 of 7. Winnipeg has thrown 7 hits to Chicago’s 3. The one late break for Chicago is the man advantage: Yager’s tripping penalty with 0:43 left gives the Blackhawks a power play to close the period, and Nazar tested Skinner once more before the horn with a shot blocked by Neal Pionk.
What Comes Next
The Jets get the intermission to reset, and the second period is where this game will be decided. Winnipeg entered the day 9-8-3 on a five game win streak, and a comeback here would keep that run alive. Chicago, at 5-13-1, is trying to protect an early lead against a team that has made a habit of answering back. The Scheifele record watch continues into the second period.
