Since making his debut in the NHL, Connor Bedard has dazzled fans with his skill, though he's found the league's physical demands challenging, highlighted by a broken jaw earlier in his rookie season.
In a game that marked Patrick Kane's first appearance against his former team since moving to the Rangers last season, emotions were high. Amid the heartfelt return, the game's intensity quickly escalated.
This moment marked a turning point for Bedard, showcasing a side of him that we hadn't seen before. Even though Kane is no longer a teammate, it's easy to imagine he was taken aback by the young star's assertiveness.
While Bedard may not be known for his physicality, this display of strength, combined with his exceptional talent, suggests we're witnessing the rise of a player who could dominate the league for years to come.
