Bedard Responds to Coach's Request

Before their recent game against the Detroit Red Wings, Chicago Blackhawks' head coach Luke Richardson encouraged star rookie Connor Bedard to shoot more. Bedard took the advice, attempting eleven shots in a 5-1 loss.

Frustration Evident in Bedard

Despite Bedard's efforts, the Blackhawks are facing challenges on the ice, and recent off-ice issues add another layer of complexity. Cameras captured Bedard's visible frustration during the game near the team's bench, even attempting to break his stick against the boards. However, he eventually calmed down with the support of his teammates.

Impressive Rookie Performance Continues

Bedard, the NHL's No. 1 draft pick last June, leads rookies in shots on goal with 65, four more than Adam Fantilli of the Columbus Blue Jackets. Despite the team's struggles, Bedard has notched 10 goals and 18 points in 21 games, showcasing resilience in the face of unsettling rumors surrounding his family.

Unfazed by Off-Ice Rumors

Disturbing rumors linking Bedard's mother, Melanie, to the Corey Perry incident earlier this month circulated, but all parties, including Perry in his official statement, denied any involvement. While these allegations could have affected the young superstar, Bedard remains focused on his performance and contributions to the team.
