Arvid Soderblom made 22 saves for his first career shutout as the Chicago Blackhawks defeated the Utah Mammoth 4-0 in Salt Lake City on Sunday. Teuvo Teravainen scored a power-play goal and a shorthanded tally, while Nick Foligno and Landon Slaggert also found the back of the net for the Blackhawks, who snapped a three-game losing streak.

Why it matters

The win was an important one for the Blackhawks, who had lost five of their previous six games before Sunday's victory. Soderblom's first career shutout is also a significant milestone for the young goaltender, who is looking to establish himself as the team's starting netminder.

The details

Teravainen's power-play goal late in the first period gave the Blackhawks a 1-0 lead, and Foligno and Slaggert scored in the second period to make it 3-0. Teravainen then added a shorthanded goal early in the third period to cap the scoring. Blackhawks defenseman Sam Rinzel missed his second consecutive game due to illness.

  • The game was the second of back-to-back contests and the third game of a four-game road trip for the Blackhawks.
  • Teravainen's power-play goal came with 55 seconds left in the first period.
  • Foligno and Slaggert scored 1:29 apart in the second period.
  • Teravainen's shorthanded goal came 1:25 into the third period.
  • The contest was the first of three between the Blackhawks and Mammoth in a 12-day span.
