During post-game interviews, Patrick Kane talked about Connor Bedard's hit, saying, "He's lucky he had the bubble on, or I was going after him."
Bedard, facing Kane for the first time, showed his aggressive playstyle with a strong hit on the veteran. Known for his skill, the 18-year-old Bedard left a strong impression for his strength on Kane and the audience.
For Kane, the collision reminded him of the challenges of returning from surgery, as he should keep his head up more, no matter who's on the ice.
