With 26 assists in 49 games played during the 2023-2024 NHL regular season, Connor Bedard has established himself as one of the players to watch.

We all knew the rookie would live up to his claims since he has broken all sorts of team records throughout the season.

Connor Bedard is the first #Blackhawks rookie with 25+ assists since Artemi Panarin in 2015-16.

Bedard has continually found himself in good company, as he plays to the best of his abilities while letting his competitiveness define his play this season.

Bedard's rookie season has been spectacular even with missing a month, and as a rookie in the cap era, his .88 point per game has put him in company with Jason Robertson, Cale Makar, Patrik Laine, and Patrick Kane.
