Blackhawks rookie Connor Bedard has lived up to the hype thus far—but he’s still liable to make a few rookie mistakes.
Bedard, the No. 1 pick in this year’s draft who’s been hailed as hockey next big thing, has been on a tear lately. He had four points (two goals and two assists) in Thursday’s game against the Lightning and followed it up with two more goals on Sunday against the Panthers.
He did have one embarrassing moment against Florida, though. In the first period, he was whistled for a penalty, and as he skated toward the box, referee Jean Hebert had to remind him where to go.
