Bedard Sets Up Power-Play Goal in Chicago Win
Returned to the lineup and chipped in a helper while leading Blackhawks forwards in ice time
Connor Bedard assisted on Chicago's power-play marker and finished the night with one point in a 5-3 home win. He skated 21:06, led the forwards in ice time (ranked 1st among 12 forwards, 4th among 18 skaters) and logged 22 shifts.
Most of Bedard's production came with the man advantage: his only assist and his single shot on the power play are reflected in the strength split (power play — 0 goals, 1 assist, 1 point, 1 shot on goal; even strength — 0 goals, 0 assists, 0 points, 2 shots on goal). He also had 3 shots on goal, 1 takeaway, 3 giveaways, and was +1 on the night.
Through one game this season he sits with 1 point, 3 shots, 21.1 minutes per game and an on-ice expected-goals share of 62.7%, with 5 high-danger chances for and 4 against while on the ice. This was a busy, involved night that saw him spearhead the power play and lead Chicago's forwards in ice time.
