Flyers Skate Past Blackhawks, Connor Bedard.

Chicago’s Colin Blackwell burst in and scored on a nifty puck-drag move late midway into the first period.

But that was about it when it came to chances and highlights for the league-worst Blackhawks and Connor Bedard in a 3-1 loss to the Philadelphia Flyers on Wednesday night at the United Center.

Chicago, dead last in the league at 15-39-3 is 1-9-1 in its last 11.

Connor Bedard was kept off the scoresheet for the first time since returning from a broken jaw last Thursday. The NHL’s leading rookie scorer had two goals in his first three games since coming back against Pittsburgh.

Bedard has 17 goals in 43 games, tied with Minnesota rookie Marco Rossi who has skated in 56. Bedard’s 39 points are tops among first-year players.

Bedard kept firing in this one and played a season-high 24:29. He finished with three shots on goal and attempted eight others that were blocked or missed the net.

Philadelphia’s Travis Konecny scored his team-leading 27th goal and extended his point streak to seven games. Travis Sanheim and Garnet Hathaway also connected for the Flyers, who took charge with pair of unanswered scores in the second period to build a 3-1 lead.

Game Flow

Bedard couldn’t quite handle a loose puck in his own zone, and it ended up in the next a few seconds late when Sanheim opened the scoring at 6:18 of the first.

Joel Farabee bumped the Chicago rookie before he had time to fully gather the puck. Sanheim connected when his shot from the slot deflected off the stick of defenseman Alex Vlasic.

Blackwell tied it 1-all just 77 seconds later on a splashy burst and move.

He broke down the right wing, made a slippery move into slot after D-man Jamie Drysdale sprawled to the ice. Blackwell then beat Ersson high on the glove side.

Konecny put the Flyers ahead 2-1 at 3:15 of the second on a shot from the left circle. He fooled Söderblom just inside the right post with his team-leading 27th goal on a rising shot.

Alone at the edge of the crease, Hathaway stuffed in a loose rebound of Noah Cates’ shot at 11:55 to up Philadelphia’s lead to 3-1`
