The Chicago Blackhawks draft well, as Connor Bedard has joined the names of Bobby Hull, Jonathan Toews, and Eddie Olcyzk with his latest 8-game point streak.
Bedard's latest eight-game point streak has put him on a list with team legends like Bobby Hull, and Jonathan Toews.
Bedard has scored 11 points ( 4 G, 7 A) in 8 games with the Chicago Blackhawks this season.
This puts him two games below his idol Sidney Crosby, who in 2005-2006 went on a 10 game points streak during his rookie season.
Among Blackhawks teenagers, Bedard still needs to extend his streak to tie Eddie Olcyzk and Jonathan Toews. As noted by the NHL's PR team:
Connor Bedard extended his point streak to eight games. The only Blackhawks teenagers to achieve longer streaks are Jonathan Toews (10 GP in 2007-08), Eddie Olczyk (9 GP in 1985-86)
* Connor Bedard (32-65-97) tallied an assist on Chicago's first goal of the game and tied Patrick Kane (65) for the second-most assists by a teenager in Blackhawks history behind Eddie Olczyk (80)
We're halfway through the season and could see Bedard turn up the heat under Interim Coach Anders Sorensen.
This is his second season in the NHL, there were expectations that Bedard would top his career-high of 61 points last season.
Should he continue the pace he's on, he could top his best with 74 points this season just shy of a point-per-game player despite his recent slump under former Coach Luke Richardson.
In 41 games this season he's scored 37 points( 11 G, 26 A). Bedard has consistently found himself in the company of the best players in the NHL year in and out.
