Connor Bedard, the No. 1 pick in the 2023 NHL draft, is already making his NHL mark with a Maple Leafs date next on Chicago's schedule.
Heck, if the NHL rolled out the red carpet for every game, Connor Bedard would probably enjoy that, too.
Toronto marks the penultimate stop on a five-game trip to start 2023-24 for the Blackhawks, a trek that ends in Colorado against the Avalanche on Thursday.“It has been a lot of fun,” the 2023 No. 1 pick said on Sunday afternoon after the Blackhawks practised at the Ford Performance Centre.“Coming in, you never know what to expect. When I found out we started on this trip, I was really excited for the home openers, the Canadian markets, Montreal’s home opener, that was pretty cool.
“Connor is another part of that special piece in Blackhawks history and to play against the Maple Leafs is going to be a fun night in the rink,” Chicago coach Luke Richardson said. “He loves playing hockey, but he seems to love the highest level of competition. He has always rose to the occasion on that, so I think that’s another good one for him to be in night.“It’s another Original Six team.
