This set up as a potential trap game for the Blackhawks. Calgary game in with the worst record in the league — but winners of their last two games. This was a game the Blackhawks should win this year.
The first period was pretty even at 5-on-5, but the Blackhawks were able to score a power play goal and kill a penalty in the opening 20 minutes to take a one-goal lead to the room. The Blackhawks were already down one injured forward and there were two fights in the first 2:19 of the second period. After 40 minutes, the Blackhawks had as many goals as they had injured players — and took their one-goal lead to the third period.
That one goal lead expanded with a couple goals that came off pretty passes from Connor Bedard and there was a little more breathing room. Then Bedard added the fourth goal for a four-point night — a goal that will be in a lot of highlight packages this weekend.
Star 1: Connor Bedard
With his assist on Bertuzzi’s goal in the first period, Bedard extended his personal point streak to seven games. With the primary assist on Bertuzzi’s second goal of the night, Bedard has four multi-point games during his streak. With his assist on the third goal of the night from André Burakovsky, Bedard has three games with at least three points already this season. His goal late in the third? Filthy. Dare I say Patrick Kane-esque?

— BHF (@BlackhawksFocus) November 8, 2025Star 2: Spencer Knight
The Blackhawks started the night with 11 forwards and then lost one in the first period. With three fights, the Blackhawks had an even shorter bench — especially in the second period with the longer change. The Flames had a 7-2 advantage in 5-on-5 high danger chances by the end of the second period and out-shot the Hawks 11-7 in the middle stanza but Knight wasn’t letting anything get through him. He finished the night with a 33-save shutout.
Star 3: Tyler Bertuzzi
Bertuzzi might have an office the same way guys like Alex Ovechkin and Steven Stamkos have in the past decade. Bertuzzi’s is just posting up on the back door waiting for a pass to hit him and go into the net. He was in the right place at the right time — again — for a power play goal in the first period tonight. He added his fifth goal in two games early in the third off another feed from Bedard.

With the second assist on Bertuzzi’s second goal and goal later in the period, Burakovsky now has eight points (four goals, four assists) in his last six games. He has points in five of the five games on the road trip. Here’s Burakovsky’s goal:GOAL: Bedard to Burakovsky on a 3-on-1 to extend the Blackhawks lead! pic.twitter.com/FDfwqMg64r
— BHF (@BlackhawksFocus) November 8, 2025 With about seven minutes left in the first period, Joel Farabee got tangled up with Frank Nazar. Nazar went to the room and did not return to the bench or ice the rest of the period. On his next shift, Farabee accepted an invitation from Colton Dach to drop the gloves. Dach had a really good, strong, physical night all around. He would have been my fourth star of the game.Colton Dach drops the mitts with Joel Farabee.

— BHF (@BlackhawksFocus) November 8, 2025 Nazar had a rough — and, unfortunately, short — night. He got clipped by a high stick from Rasmus Andersson to give the Blackhawks their power play in the first period. He got hurt in the collision with Farabee on his next shift. The Blackhawks ruled Nazar out for the rest of the game after the firest period. Hopefully he’s okay. Early in the second period, MacKenzie Weegar ran Oliver Moore into the boards and Alex Vlasic didn’t appreciate it.

— BHF (@BlackhawksFocus) November 8, 2025 Only 67 seconds after the Vlasic-Weegar fight, Nick Foligno put a good, clean hit on Connor Zary. Joel Hanley didn’t like that and the two danced. Three fights in less than 23 minutes of hockey tonight!Another fight: Nick Foligno drops the gloves with Joel Hanley after Foligno laid a big hit pic.twitter.com/HVpxOodC7M
— BHF (@BlackhawksFocus) November 8, 2025 Matt Grzelcyk had another solid night. He had to pick up a bigger role with Vlasic out for five minutes because of the fight and some of the other moving pieces and he did it well. He had a team-leading four shots on net thru two periods. With his assist on Bertuzzi’s goal in the first period, Artyom Levshunov now has a point in four of the five games on the road trip. He has a power play assist in each of the last two games since he was moved to the top unit. Flames defenseman Zayne Parekh left the game after sustaining an upper-body injury in the second period.Hence then, the article about blackhawks 4 flames 0 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.
