Bedard had to leave the game and enter the dressing room with a painful injury. Bedard appeared to suffer a head injury and looked shaken up when he came off the ice.
Blackhawks left winger Nick Foligno got into a scuffle with Smith after Smith hit Bedard. Per Roumeliotis, Jason Dickerson, who came in for Bedard on the Power Play, scored a goal to give the Blackhawks a 1-0 lead on the Devils.
