EDMONTON, Alberta — Connor Bedard won the Connor battle but the Blackhawks lost the scoreboard battle in a 4-1 defeat Tuesday against the Oilers.

Bedard scored the Hawks’ lone goal, another highlight-worthy snipe in which he maneuvered the puck around Oilers defenseman Mattias Ekholm’s outstretched stick before picking a corner above goalie Stuart Skinner.
