Connor Bedard had two goals and two assists to help the Chicago Blackhawks rally from a three-goal deficit and beat the visiting Anaheim Ducks 5-3 on Sunday afternoon.
Tyler Bertuzzi, Ryan Greene and Colton Dach also scored, and Spencer Knight made 22 saves for the Blackhawks, who had lost five in a row (0-4-1).
Cutter Gauthier had a goal and an assist, Olen Zellweger and Chris Kreider also scored and Troy Terry had two assists for the Ducks, who have lost two of three.
Anaheim goalie Petr Mrazek had 13 saves before leaving with a lower-body injury midway through the third period. Ville Husso replaced him and surrendered one goal on one shot.
The Ducks scored two goals in the first 47 seconds, the fastest two goals to start a game in team history.
Gauthier scored 15 seconds in on a one-timer from the left circle to give Anaheim a 1-0 lead.
Terry supplied the pass to Gauthier, extending Terry's point streak to seven games (two goals, six assists).
Zellweger scored 32 seconds later on a wrist shot from the same left circle to make it 2-0.
The previous fastest two goals in team history occurred in 97 seconds by Corey Perry and Patrick Eaves on March 28, 2017, against the Vancouver Canucks.
Kreider extended the lead to 3-0 when Beckett Sennecke's pass went off his skate and was redirected into the net at 10:25 of the first.
Sennecke also extended his point streak to seven games (one goal, six assists).
Chicago went on its first power play with 2:24 left in the opening period, and Bertuzzi scored 21 seconds into the man-advantage on a redirection from in front of the net to cut it to 3-1 at 17:57.
The Blackhawks came back with two goals in the second period to tie the score heading into the third.
Greene scored off a two-on-one break at 6:43 to make it 3-2, and Dach scored with a wrist shot from the left hash marks while on a power play to tie it 3-3 at 12:34.
Alex Killorn appeared to score short-handed for Anaheim with 15:39 left in the third period, but Chicago challenged for offsides, and the goal was overturned after a video review.
Shortly after Mrazek was injured, a turnover left Bedard alone in front of the crease, and he faked out Husso before sliding the puck in the net for a 4-3 lead at 9:55 of the third.
Bedard then scored into an empty net with 1:55 remaining to make it 5-3.
