The NHL’s next big thing has his first carer tally after a slick effort away in Boston.
Rookie phenom Connor Bedard scored the first of what should be a heap of NHL goals during the opening period of the Chicago Blackhawks’ visit to TD Garden on Wednesday night.Bedard’s slick hands and net-front instincts mean that his tallies will soon become more commonplace than newsworthy, and both attributes were on display for his tally past Boston Bruins’ goaltender and reigning Vezina Trophy-winner Linus Ullmark.
Bedard got off the mark in his fourth professional period after debuting on the scoresheet with a helper during Chicago’s 4-2 triumph over the Pittsburgh Penguins on Tuesday. Hawks fans will hope his good fortune continues throughout the team’s five-game road stand and into their home opener on Oct. 21.
Though pressure on the rookie is at tectonic levels after the recent departures of franchise legends Patrick Kane and Jonathan Toews, Bedard has acquitted himself well so far in his young career and looked no less dynamic throughout the preseason than he did with the WHL Regina Pats.
