Connor Bedard Aims for Team Canada Selection

Chicago Blackhawks' Connor Bedard continues to showcase his potential despite a slow start to the season, marked by only two goals in eight games. Bedard has maintained a high shot rate, ranking 39th among forwards in shots on goal per minute, indicating his ability to create scoring opportunities. Although his current shooting percentage is low, experts like Blackhawks coach Luke Richardson expect a surge in his goal-scoring as he refines his techniques and gains more experience. Bedard also remains a key figure for Canada's potential roster in the upcoming 4 Nations Face-Off tournament, emphasizing his importance to both his NHL team and national team aspirations. His performance has been characterized by a few multi-point games, albeit with some consistency issues, but his contributions continue to be vital as the Blackhawks work through early season challenges.
