Saturday Night Showdown Could Provide Best Opportunity For Connor Bedard To Break Out Of Brutal Slump

With the Blackhawks scoring just one regulation goal in each of their past four games, it’s hard to put much of the blame on a 19-year-old who is the clear face of the franchise. After all, he’s still learning, having only just completed his 82nd game (after missing 14 with a fractured jaw last season). Connor Bedard has improved on the defensive end of the ice, essentially cutting opponents’ opportunities in half from last season. He’s getting even more opportunities than he did last season as well.
