CHICAGO — Connor Bedard scored the tiebreaking goal at 9:55 of the third period, added an empty net score and had two assists as the Chicago Blackhawks overcame an early three-goal deficit to top the Anaheim Ducks 5-3 on Sunday and snap a five-game skid.
Tyler Bertuzzi, Ryan Green and Colton Deutch also scored as Chicago tied it at 3 at 12:34 of the second. Chicago converted two of four power play opportunities and killed all three Anaheim possessions.
Bedard beat Willie Hsu with a nifty move from the front of the crease to put Chicago up 4-3 after an Alex Culvern turnover. Hoso had entered the game 44 seconds earlier when starter Peter Mirzak exited with an undisclosed injury.
Bedard fired into an empty net with 1:55 left to seal it.

Maszek stopped 13 of 16 shots before exiting in his first start against the Blackhawks since he was traded to Detroit in March. Anaheim No. 1 goalie Lucas Dostal missed his third game with an upper-body injury.
