Friday's episode begins with a recap of the Chicago Blackhawks' much-needed 2-1 win over the Los Angeles Kings in the second game of the current West Coast road trip. Host Jack Bushman breaks down Connor Bedard's 18th goal of the season, a great team win by the Blackhawks, Spencer Knight standing tall in net once again, Wyatt Kaiser's game-winning goal, Frank Nazar's best showing in months, and adjustments to make in the third and final meeting of the year on Saturday. The episode concludes with an update on former first-round pick Marek Vanacker, who's scoring at a goal-per-game pace near the midway point of the season. All that and more on Locked On Blackhawks.
