Remember when the Blackhawks lost to the Canucks at the United Center on Oct. 17 and the refs questionably took a would-be go-ahead goal away from Tyler Bertuzzi even after a lengthy review?
Puck don’t lie. Bertuzzi put together the fourth hat trick of his NHL career to lead a Blackhawks’ third period offensive explosion that ends the Canucks’ dominance of the Blackhawks in recent years.
The game started fast, with a back-and-forth first period ending without a score on either side. The second period picked up where the first one ended. With 11:26 left in the middle period the Canucks were able to put the puck in the net, but Drew O’Connor clearly pushed Spencer Knight down on the play. The Blackhawks challenged — and won this time! The game stayed tied to the second intermission.
After withstanding a Canucks onslaught in the second period, the Blackhawks rewarded their goaltender with four goals in 8:31 to blow the game open. Though Vancouver eventually got on the board, the Blackhawks added an insurance goal into the empty net to pick up the first win on the road trip.
Star 1: Spencer Knight
Knight was excellent in the first period, stopping all 16 shots he faced. He was much busier in the second period as the Canucks started to dominate the puck, but was still outstanding (when he wasn’t interfered with). He had to make 18 saves in the second period to keep the score tied. The Canucks had 17 high danger chances by the end of the second period and nothing to show for it. Knight’s shutout bid ended with 3:11 left in regulation on Vancouver’s 43rd shot of the game. He picked up an assist on the final goal of the night, too. Here’s his helper on the Blackhawks’ fifth goal of the night:

The Blackhawks needed a goal after starting the third period much better than they played in the second and they got it off the… foot of Bertuzzi. He was having a good night before scoring the first goal of the game; Bertuzzi was on the ice at 5-on-5 for 11 of the Blackhawks’ 19 shots on goal thru two periods, the highest on the roster. Bertuzzi added a power play goal for a second in the period.
Here’s Bertuzzi’s first goal of the night:

Bedard came out of the gates flying. He was credited with four of the Blackhawks’ nine scoring chances in the first period and attempted five shots. He was up to eight shot attempts and had a team-leading individual Expected Goals of 0.46 by the end of the second period. He beautifully set up Bertuzzi for his second goal of the night on the power play. Bedard scored into the empty net late off a nice outlet pass from Knight to close the books on a big win. He finished the night with 13 shot attempts and eight scoring chances — his best performance in his home town.

— BHF (@BlackhawksFocus) November 6, 2025 Moore was limited to just 6:57 thru two periods, the lowest ice time on the roster. He only got four shifts in the second period. The Blackhawks killing two penalties in the second might have impacted his ice time. He came out flying early in the third period and picked up his first NHL point of the season. Matt Grzelcyk was terrific in the first period. In his 5:43 on the ice, the Blackhawks had a 10-1 Corsi For advantage and Grzelcyk had a team-best 93.32 expected Goals For percentage. He put a team-leading two shots on net in the period (Alex Vlasic was also credited with two shots in the first). Grzelcyk picked up the primary assist on Bertuzzi’s first goal. When the Blackhawks finally got a power play almost six minutes into the third period, Artyom Levshunov was at the point instead of Sam Rinzel. Levshunov had the second assist on the Bertuzzi power play goal. Donato had two assists in the game. Vlasic had a team-leading five shots on net. This was a potentially big moment in the first period. Elias Pettersson got behind everyone and decided to drop the puck to Evander Kane. André Burakovsky flew back and knocked the puck away beautifully. Rinzel played Pettersson well initially as well.Andre Burakovsky gets back to negate an Evander Kane semi-breakaway pic.twitter.com/dcxFwXO3J4
— BHF (@BlackhawksFocus) November 6, 2025 The Canucks line of Evander Kane, Elias Pettersson and Conor Garland feasted on the Blackhawks thru two periods. At 5-on-5 that line was on the ice for 16 Canucks shot attempts in 8:06 to nine for the Hawks. Vancouver got on the board when Levshunov pinched at a bad time with a four-goal lead. Thankfully, this learning moment came with a lead. Their second goal came after an attempt at their empty net was blocked on the other end of the rink.Hence then, the article about blackhawks 5 canucks 2 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.
