Auston Matthews sends a bold message to Blackhawks Connor Bedard
A few months into his career, Connor Bedard has been lighting up the league. He took a short period to adapt to the league.
In 18 games with the Chicago Blackhawks, the rookie has scored 10 goals and contributed 7 assists for 17 points. Almost a point a game pace.
However, he has earned the respect of his competitors, including Toronto Maple Leafs Auston Matthews, whom the Blackhawks defeated today with a small effort, 4-3.
Bedard would earn an assist today, but what's even better is when someone like Matthews compliments your performance.
As a result of taking a beating from the Chicago Blackhawks, Matthews thinks Bedard is one of the top goal-scorers in the league.
Auston Matthews on Connor Bedard: "He's not just a pure goal scorer. He makes plays as well. I think he kind of does everything really well"
John Tavares: "Amazing how he's come in & been able to adapt so quickly"
