Connor Bedard is certainly living up to expectations that he is a generational talent.
The Chicago Blackhawks first round draft pick scored two goals and registered two assists in Thursday night’s 5-3 victory over the Tampa Bay Lightning.

"I think good things happen when you play hard in the right way," head coach Luke Richardson told reporters of Bedard’s performance.

"He’s new to the league, and he’s been here for a dozen games now – he’s starting to really figure it out and use his skills to the best of his ability, and it paid off for him and us tonight."
Bedard’s production made him the third-youngest player in league history to record a four-point night. The last player to do so was Bep Guidolin with the Boston Bruins in 1944. He was 18 years and 56 days old.

When asked about his performance after the game, Bedard offered a humble response.
"I thought we showed good patience, and, obviously, we waited for their mistakes. And kind of all the points I feel like other guys did great things and I got to benefit. It’s obviously nice getting on the scoresheet, but there’s a lot that goes into it."
