There's nothing like former teammates competing at the highest level in the NHL, as Connor Bedard caught Seth Jones flat-footed not once, but twice, as the Blackhawks are taking on the Panthers tonight.
Tonight is the season opener for the Blackhawks against their bitter rivals, the Florida Panthers.
What led to the two rivals making it a game was Connor Bedard's ability to use his puck-handling skills to cut through defenses like butter.
Tonight was no different, as he would catch his former teammate, Seth Jones, off guard, not once, but twice, in an attempt to establish an offensive zone in the Panthers' end.
He'd crash the net, and he'd find Sergei Bobrovsky on the case each time.
During the 2nd Period:
Here he'd try to create some offense with rookie Colton Dach but was stopped by Bobrovsky, who was a makeshift wall this evening.
Here is Bedard putting the moves on his former teammate, as he cuts right by Jones, who was too slow for the 2025-26 version of Bedard. A faster, meaner skater.
