Foligno's affection for playing alongside the talented young Bedard was apparent, as he relished the opportunity to impart wisdom about the NHL grind. While the Blackhawks may not be playoff-bound this season, their victory and the bond between Foligno and Bedard bode well for the team's future.
The game took a chaotic turn in the final period when Blackhawks goaltender Petr Mrazek engaged in a scuffle with Ducks defenseman Radko Gudas. The altercation escalated into a line brawl, with Ducks goaltender John Gibson joining the fray by shedding his gear to confront Mrazek.
What a game!
