After watching the Blackhawks face the Leafs and Flames recently, the speed of this game was completely different. Seattle can move — and the pace of the first period was terrific. Shot attempts at 5-on-5 were 16-15 after 20 minutes, but the Blackhawks had a 5-1 advantage in high danger chances. Neither side scored in the first.
The Blackhawks dominated the second period to the tune of a 24-8 Corsi For advantage in 16:54 at 5-on-5. They had an 11-0 scoring chances for advantage in the period as well. The Hawks scored the first goal of the night — for the seventh straight game and NHL-leading 15th time this season. Chicago scored the game’s second goal, this one coming on the power play. Impressively, the Blackhawks had a 40-23 shot attempt advantage and 9-1 high danger chance advantage after 40 minutes.
The expected push-back came, and Seattle got on the board a little more than five minutes into the third period. And then they tied the game less than three minutes later thru a screen by Shane Wright. It took the Blackhawks more than 14 minutes to be credited with a single shot on net in the third — not ideal. Connor Bedard got called for a brutal unsportsmanlike penalty with 4:16 left in regulation after he appeared to get slashed on a breakaway attempt. And the Kraken took the lead on the power play.
Star 1: Tyler Bertuzzi
Welcome back! He scored the game’s first goal from his office and then made a brilliant, blind pass to set up the second marker on the power play. He was clearly feeling it tonight and was making plays all over the offensive zone. Bertuzzi now has four multi-point games in his last five appearances.

— BHF (@BlackhawksFocus) November 21, 2025Star 2: Teuvo Teräväinen
Teräväinen was feeling it almost as much as Bertuzzi. He had the set-up assist on the first goal and took advantage of the ridiculous pass to score the power play goal. He also won four of eight faceoffs in the opening 40 minutes. This was Teräväinen’s fifth multi-point game of the year and he’s scored a goal in three of his last five games.

This move from Bedard in the first period got the fans in the United Center out of their seats. Bedard led the Blackhawks with five shots on goal, seven shot attempts and four high danger chances in the opening two periods. Even with the bad penalty, Bedard had the second-highest expected Goals For at 5-on-5 on the Blackhawks (0.95) behind only Bertuzzi.

On the Blackhawks’ power play in the first period, André Burakovsky got popped in the head by Ryan Lindgren and went down hard. He lost his bucket on the hit, but was able to skate off. He went to the room after the shift, and the Blackhawks ruled Burakovsky out for the remainder of the game. There was no penalty on the hit, but it certainly looked intentional.Another look at this huge hit that sent Burakovsky to the room: t.co/X4H42EmngK pic.twitter.com/2fd7jzgrPb
— BHF (@BlackhawksFocus) November 21, 2025 With his assist on the power play goal in the second period, Artyom Levshunov now has a point in six of nine games in the month of November (seven assists). He was good again tonight. Sam Rinzel looked more like the controlled, confident skater we saw earlier this year in the first period. He was second on the blue line in ice time (7:11) and had the only blocked shot on the roster in the opening frame. He was on the ice for zero Blackhawks’ shots on net to four for Seattle (at 5-on-5), though. The Blackhawks were using both Rinzel and Matt Grzelcyk on the second power play unit. Remember when I wrote about the Blackhawks being right-handed heavy at center? Bedard didn’t take a faceoff in the first period, but Bertuzzi and Ryan Donato — both lefties — were active at the dot. And successful. Donato won six of eight faceoffs in the first two periods; Bertuzzi won both of his attempts. Bedard won his only faceoffs in the opening 40 minutes. After going five games without a point, Frank Nazar now has an assist in three straight games. He had the second assist on Bertuzzi’s goal. For Seattle, Oscar Fisker Molgaard picked up the second assist on the Kraken’s first goal of the night. It’s his first career NHL point — in his NHL debut.Hence then, the article about blackhawks 2 kraken 3 three stars key takeaways was published today ( ) and is available on Bleacher Nation ( Middle East ) The editorial team at PressBee has edited and verified it, and it may have been modified, fully republished, or quoted.
