Connor Bedard smashes Blackhawks legends record in big fashion

During a power play opportunity in the third period, Bedard unleashed a powerful shot from the left circle, only to be denied by Predators goalie Kevin Lankinen.

However, this shot propelled Bedard past the previous record held by Hall-of-Fame defenseman Doug Wilson, set over four decades ago in the 1977-78 season.

Bedard's impact goes beyond just shots on goal, as he also assisted on a goal by Philip Kurashev during the same game, further solidifying his status as a top rookie scorer in the league with 60 points in 65 games.

Known for his prolific shooting ability, Bedard's aggressive playstyle mirrors that of Wilson, who was also renowned for his powerful shots during his career. Bedard's determination is evident in his 192 additional shot attempts that have either been blocked or missed the net.

As Bedard continues to make his mark on the ice, he follows in the footsteps of Wilson, who set a high standard for rookie performance during his time with the Blackhawks.

With Bedard's talent and dedication, he's poised to leave a lasting legacy in the team's history books.
