First Period


The opening period saw both teams testing each other's defenses. The Red Wings managed to break through first with a goal that set them ahead early in the game. The Hawks struggled to find their rhythm and were unable to convert any of their chances into goals during this period.


Second Period


In the second period, Chicago began showing signs of life as Connor Bedard found his way onto the scoresheet with a powerplay goal. This marked Bedard's first point of this season and showcased his potential as a key player for Chicago moving forward. However, Detroit responded swiftly with another goal, maintaining their lead and keeping pressure on Arvid Soderblom in net for Chicago.


Third Period


As tensions rose in the third period, Wyatt Kaiser stepped up for Chicago by scoring an even-strength goal that tied up the game momentarily. Yet again, Detroit answered back quickly with what would become their winning goal of this encounter. Despite out-hitting (34 hits) and matching faceoff wins (50 percent) against Detroit’s efforts (21 hits), it was not enough for Chicago to secure victory.


The goaltending duel saw Soderblom making an impressive 40 saves but ultimately conceding three goals from 43 shots faced – highlighting both his resilience under pressure and areas needing improvement defensively around him.
