Chicago Blackhawks rookie sensation Connor Bedard showcased his prowess in today's game against the Florida Panthers, already netting two goals within two periods. Bedard's standout performance seemed to rattle the Panthers, leading to a frustrating response.

In an unfortunate turn, Florida Panthers defenseman Dmitry Kulikov resorted to a dirty hit on Bedard, targeting him from behind.

The hit sparked immediate retaliation, with Blackhawks forward Nick Foligno stepping in to defend his teammate. Foligno wasted no time in delivering a few punches to Kulikov, demonstrating the grit and protective spirit that the Blackhawks acquired when signing Foligno during the off-season.

The incident underscores the intensity of the game and the impact Bedard's exceptional play has had on the opposition. As the game progresses, Bedard's contributions and the team's response to protect their rising star add an extra layer of drama to the matchup against the Florida Panthers.
