PITTSBURGH -- Connor Bedard did not disappoint in his NHL debut.
The Chicago Blackhawks rookie picked up an assist and dazzled occasionally with his skating as the Chicago Blackhawks rallied past Sidney Crosby and the Pittsburgh Penguins 4-2 on Tuesday night.
The 18-year-old Bedard, the top pick in the NHL draft, played over 21 minutes, often sharing the ice with Crosby, one of his idols. Bedard registered five of the 35 shots Chicago fired at Tristan Jarry as the Blackhawks began a new era with an impressive victory over the veteran-laden Penguins.
