Connor Bedard singles out a veteran teammate for mentoring him in his rookie NHL season
During an episode of the Daily Faceoff, guest Connor Bedard revealed that Taylor Hall was his mentor throughout his rookie year as Bedard began his adventure in the NHL.

Bedard has had a tougher start to his season along with the rest of his Blackhawk teammates as the team just snapped four-game losing streak against the Los Angeles Kings. He has played twelve games thus far, scoring three goals with six assists for 9 points and is a - 3 but through his last three games he scored no points and is a - 1.
Inconsistencies have been plaguing Bedard this year and with a player like hall who had seen these similar conditions with the Oilers, he will show Bedard how to handle the ebb and flow of the season and being on a team that may not win many games.
Bedard is a deeply competitive player and began to show his frustrations with his season and the Blackhawks season especially after the loss against the Dallas Stars.
