The first period was fast — literally on the ice and on the clock. The two teams combined to put only 11 shots on goal (the Blackhawks had a 6-5 advantage) and the Hawks took a one-goal lead to the room after 20 minutes. Natural Stat Trick had the Blackhawks with an 11-5 advantage in Scoring Chances and a 4-2 advantage in High Danger Chances at 5-on-5 in the first period.
The second period was dominated by the Blackhawks for the most part. They scored a second goal, allowed only seven shots on net and had the only three high dangers chances at 5-on-5 in the period. But a late penalty cracked the door open an inch for the Flames and they proceeded thru it, cutting a two-goal lead in half in the closing seconds of the period. Shots were only 14-11 in favor of the Blackhawks after 40 minutes.
A sloppy shift got dragged out in the defensive zone early in the third period with a handful of turnovers by the Blackhawks that cost them the lead. A game they dominated for 39 minutes was now knotted at two. Thankfully, the game was tied for less than two minutes. And the Blackhawks were able to add some insurance. And… hats hit the ice.
Star 1: Connor Bedard
The second period was really owned by Bedard. He was feeling it — even if that meant a few ill-advised passes. He was skating thru traffic and making moves around Flames skaters. Late in the period, Sam Rinzel lobbed a puck out of the zone. Bedard won the race and Dustin Wolf made a terrible decision to try to play the puck. Bedard easily tapped it through him into the net to extend the Blackhawks’ lead to two. By the end of the second period, Bedard led the team with four shots on goal and had won six of his eight faceoffs. After his line got caught on the ice for the second Calgary goal, Bedard’s next shift ended with a go-ahead goal. He finished off the hat trick in the final minute.

— BHF (@BlackhawksFocus) November 19, 2025Star 2: Oliver Moore
Moore’s speed was a problem early for Calgary. At 5-on-5, Moore was on the ice for eight Blackhawks shot attempts to just one for the Flames in 4:18 in the first period. At the end of the second period, Moore had the second-highest expected Goals For percentage (83.61) on the Blackhawks. He had an assist on Donato’s goal in the first period and his speed created the Blackhawks’ fourth goal of the night for a little breathing room.

— BHF (@BlackhawksFocus) November 19, 2025Star 3: Ryan Donato
Donato won three of a team-high five faceoffs in the first period and was responsible for the game’s first goal. He was the only Blackhawks skater with more than one Scoring Chance For at 5-on-5 in the first period — he was credited with four. He was the best skater on the ice for the Blackhawks in the first period.

Check the pass Ryan Greene made to Bedard on his second goal below — filthy! But he was also excellent in the faceoff circle, on the penalty kill and was physical (three credited hits).GOAL: Connor Bedard ROCKET for his second of the game! pic.twitter.com/0e1grbqm9a
— BHF (@BlackhawksFocus) November 19, 2025 Connor Murphy was called for a crosscheck with 36 seconds left in the second period and the Blackhawks leading by two. Calgary scored quickly on the advantage to cut the lead in half. Brutal timing for the penalty and way too easy for the Flames to score late in the period.It was good to see Rinzel get back on the scoresheet — his first point in November. He had a nice rebound game after the healthy scratch.
The Blackhawks’ power play was not good in the first two periods. It was 0-for-4 with only three shots on net in four chances; they had 24 seconds of 5-on-3 in the second period and did nothing with it. There were only 16 faceoffs in the first period. The Blackhawks won nine of them. There were 28 faceoffs in the second period. The Blackhawks won only 12 of them. Donato had a tough second period at the dot.Hence then, the article about blackhawks 5 flames 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.
