BLACKHAWKS 4, FLAMES 0

CALGARY, Alberta (AP) — Connor Bedard had a goal and three assists, Spencer Knight stopped 33 shots for his first shutout of the season, and Chicago beat Calgary.

Tyler Bertuzzi scored twice and Andre Burakovsky also had a goal for Chicago, which won its second straight after losing three in a row. Knight had his sixth career shutout.

Celebrini’s assist was his league-high 23rd point (nine goals, 14 assists) of the season.

The Sharks outshot the Jets 11-9 in a scoreless second period with no penalties.
