Awful Update in The Blackhawks' Connor Bedard Sweepstakes
The Chicago Blackhawks secured a 5-2 victory over the Pittsburgh Penguins in their recent game, but the win could have greater consequences for the Penguins. The loss puts the Penguins' playoff hopes in jeopardy, and it's not looking good for them.
On the other hand, the Blackhawks' win comes with a twist. The victory pushes them down to 30th place out of 32 teams, meaning they now have a lower chance of getting the first overall pick in the upcoming draft, which is expected to be Connor Bedard.
For the franchise, securing the top pick is crucial, so the win against the Penguins could have long-term implications for the team.
