BUNK BEDS

Chicago forward Connor Bedard tied a season high with three points (1G, 2A) against the Islanders and now has points (1G, 4A) in three-straight games. His goal was the seventh power play goal of his career, which ties Jonathan Toews for the third most in franchise history by a teenager, and now trails Patrick Kane (11) and Eddie Olczyk (9).

BOW TY

Against the Islanders on Thursday, forward Tyler Bertuzzi scored twice and now has three goals over his last two games. It's his first multi-goal game of the season and his two points are tied for his season best (2A; Nov. 27 vs. DAL). He now has eight goals in 29 games this season, which ranks second among all team skaters.

MASTER VLAS

Defenseman Alex Vlasic notched two assists on Thursday for the first multi-point game of his NHL career. He now has points (2G, 2A) in three of his last four games and six points (2G, 4A) over his last seven games.
