Can Bedard Match This Blackhawks Legends in His Final 16 games?
Connor Bedard has played 52 games for the Chicago Blackhawks and has averaged almost a point per game.
After missing a step when it comes to recovering from his broken jaw, he has 51 points.
Many pundits thought Bedard's absence from the ice from January 10th to February 15th would hurt his Calder Trophy prospects.
However, he hasn't stopped his elite pace as he put up a 1 goal and 4 assist night, for his 1st 5-point night in his NHL career.
The end of the NHL season is fast approaching, so Bedard needs to step up his game.
To beat Patrick Kane's record of 51 assists in a rookie season, which is currently a Blackhawks record.
For Bedard to do this, he has 16 games left to rack up 20 assists. Is he capable of doing it?
In Patrick Kane's 2007-2008 rookie season in the NHL, he scored 20 goals and 51 assists in 82 games and won the Calder Trophy.
