Desperate for someone other than Connor Bedard to score a goal, the Blackhawks finally got contributions from the rest of the roster on Sunday afternoon.
The Blackhawks had their legs in the first period and were the more aggressive team. They earned three more power plays, and were able to score on the third inside the final minutes of the period. Chicago out-shot Utah 12-8 in the first period and took a one-goal lead to the room, but started the second period on the penalty kill.
The Blackhawks and Mammoth skated to a fairly even second period for about 11 minutes before Chicago’s fourth line doubled and then tripled the lead in less than 90 seconds. Utah pushed back, holding a 4-2 advantage in high danger chances in the second period, but the Blackhawks held their three-goal lead to the intermission.
When Utah got a power play early in the third, there was an all-too familiar “here we go” thought. But the Blackhawks flipped the script and scored a short-handed goal to extend the lead to four. From there, the Blackhawks’ team defense was outstanding. They didn’t allow a second shot on net in the third until 10:57 was off the clock.
Star 1: Teuvo Teräväinen
Teräväinen benefitted from two great plays by teammates to put two special teams goals on the board. He scored a power play goal in the first, but the play was made by Tyler Bertuzzi. The Blackhawks needed a first period goal and they got one on the power play. When the Blackhawks went short-handed early in the third period, Alex Vlasic did a great job of holding the puck and taking a lap around the offensive zone before setting up Teräväinen for a short-handed goal. He’s the first Blackhawk to have a goal on both special teams since Dec. 23, 2023.

The defense in front of him was really good, but the Mammoth are in a playoff spot right now because they’re a strong team. And they pushed back in the second and third period. Söderblom made the saves needed and earned a desperately needed win in a big way. How about a shutout on the road!
Star 3: Landon Slaggert
In a supporting role in which he rarely does much on the scoreboard, Slaggert had another really good game this afternoon after he was a healthy scratch on Saturday night. His pressure behind the Utah net led to the loose puck that became the Blackhawks’ second goal, and he scored the third of the afternoon soon after. At the end of two, Slaggert had skated a team-low 6:22 but had one blocked shot, one hit and was plus-two.

Artyom Levshunov had a very good first period. He skated 3:58 at 5-on-5 during which the Blackhawks had a 9-2 shot attempt advantage and a 79.71 expected goals for percentage. He was individually credited with a team-leading three shots on net in the first period; the Blackhawks had 12 as a team. By the end of the second period, Levshunov was on the ice for 9:18 at 5-on-5 during which the Blackhawks had a 15-5 shot attempt advantage and 8-3 shots on net advantage. He picked up an assist on Slaggert’s goal. Levshunov has played two really good games in a row after a not-great night in Nashville. Here’s Nick Foligno‘s goal from the second period, the 250th of his career:GOAL: Nick Foligno shows off the hands in tight for his 3rd goal of the season pic.twitter.com/mknip2Ywcy
— BHF (@BlackhawksFocus) March 1, 2026 Vlasic played one of his best games of the season today. He was all over the ice and carrying the puck more. The Hawks got a 4-on-3 advantage for about 95 seconds in the first period and sent out Bedard, Teräväinen, Foligno and Levshunov. Everyone deferred to Bedard to shoot the puck to the point that nothing happened. Someone has to put the puck on the net if they’re going to have Foligno out there to clean up loose change around the net. The Blackhawks had a 12-5 advantage in scoring chances and 6-2 advantage in high danger chances at the end of the first period. It was a solid 20 minutes. Frank Nazar, who skated in his 100th career NHL game on Sunday, won 3 of 6 faceoffs in the first period. The rest of the Blackhawks won 0 of 13. Interestingly, Bedard didn’t take a single draw in the first period. The Blackhawks won 9 of 21 draws in the second period. Bedard won 4 of 8 and Nazar won the same 3 of 6 he handled in the first to lead the way. Thru two periods, Kevin Korchinski had skated only 7:15 (ten shifts). He finished the game skating under 11 minutes.Hence then, the article about blackhawks 4 mammoth 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.
