In his second preseason game, Connor Bedard wowed again. The 18-year-old is going to have all eyes on him every night, as he can do tremendously unthinkable things with the puck.

In his second preseason game, Connor Bedard had the fans on their feet again.

The Play

Connor Bedard deked through a Detroit Red Wings defenseman and almost tucked away a beauty of a goal.
The Chicago Blackhawks lost the game 5-1, but Connor Bedard was again the standout player for Chicago. Chicago will see lots of losses this season, so hopefully Bedard will be fine with all the losing and it will not hurt his confidence in the long-run.

Game Analysis

Connor Bedard led the way with four shots on goal, tied with one other player. He had a hit and a block as well. He was dominated in the faceoff circle, going five for 13, or winning only 38% of his draws.
Bedard was on the ice for 20:52 of ice time as the coaching staff clearly want him out there to score. He clearly stayed out as long as he could most times.
Going forward, it may be best to limit his shift length to stay fresh, but his total time on ice will always be around, or over, the 20-minute mark.
