When Connor Bedard scored his first NHL goal 90 seconds into his first-ever home opener in 2023, Chicago fans were convinced: the 18-year-old rookie had potential. However, his success with the hockey stick was probably preordained. During his WHL days, the hockey centre became the first athlete to cross the 140-point mark since 1996. His skills with the puck once again shone tonight when he helped the Hawks end their 5-match losing streak, while also adding another feather to his cap.
With a 2-7-1 record in their last 10 games and 54 points, Chicago’s season has been nothing to write home about. However, Bedard has remained a standout player despite the camp’s misfortunes. But with the latest 3-1 victory over the Penguins tonight, the bad days might be finally behind them. However, that wasn’t the only highlight of the day for Connor.
The CHSN Blackhawks X handle posted on the platform on April 6 to share Connor Bedard’s latest milestone. “Another day, another historic benchmark for Bedard,” reads the social media caption as it reveals how the Vancouver, British Columbia native has stormed into the history books.
With 60+ points in both the 2023-24 (61) and the 2024-25 (60, so far) seasons, Connor has become the 11th NHL player to have multiple 60-plus-point seasons as a teenager. At the United Center tonight, Bedard didn’t get on the scoresheet, but his assist to Ilya Mikheyev for the latter’s second goal of the night had a significant impact on the final result.
