[Scott Powers] Connor Bedard delivers a hat trick while taking on leadership role for Blackhawks

It was really exciting seeing Bedard with the A and being a leader last night. Continue to really impressed by his growth from last season. He has arrived.

“It’s been fun,” Bedard said. “We’re obviously early, 19 games in, but it’s just been a lot of fun. We’re so determined to go out there and win. You know even today, we give up a goal, obviously get them back into the game end of the second, right at the start of the third they score, that’s something that can deflate a team, but we go back out there, we get another one, then we get another one. We’re just really determined. We have a lot fun together. We love each other and we want to play for each other. That shows a lot.”
