Connor Bedard's Intense Showdown at the World Championships At the World Championships today, Connor Bedard, the young star for Team Canada, showed a tougher side during a fiery game against Denmark. The usually calm Bedard got into a heated moment with Denmark's Jesper Jensen Aabo, leading to punches thrown on the ice. Both players received minor penalties for roughing after their scuffle, which fired up the crowd but didn't turn into a full-fledged fight. <div align='center'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/TSN_Sports/status/1789694911794561052'> </a></blockquote></div> It's rare to see Bedard, known more for his scoring than scrapping, involved in such altercations.
