Connor Bedard had one heck of a game for the Chicago Blackhawks on Friday night against the Calgary Flames. The 22-year-old had a goal and three assists at the Scotiabank Saddledome.
That’s a great game any way you cut it. But it’s even better as the Blackhawks scored four times, and Bedard was involved in all four goals.
Bedard now has 10 points over his last five games and 22 points in 15 contests this season. Those numbers indicate that Bedard has arrived in the NHL. But the numbers are also sending a broader message: Connor Bedard deserves serious consideration for Team Canada’s roster at the 2026 Olympics in Milano-Cortina.
