A night after making his NHL debut, Chicago Blackhawks rookie Connor Bedard has scored his first goal.
On a beautiful wraparound shot into the goal, Bedard notched his first score at TD Garden against the Boston Bruins on Wednesday night.
It was a nifty little move that just shows how Bedard is already making waves on the ice for the Blackhawks.
It’s only two games and one goal, but Chicago has to like what it’s seeing in the 2023 NHL Draft’s first-overall pick. He already looks like a keeper, and he’s only going to get better every night he takes to the ice.

NHL fans, even those who aren’t Blackhawks fans in the slightest, were happy to see Bedard notch this career milestone.
TD Garden isn’t an easy place to play, either. Good on Bedard for making this second game count like he did in such a difficult arena of competition.
NHL fans were really happy for the rookie.
Happy to see this…cheering for the kid to start a new culture to go with this organization. https://t.co/kHh4RiQYTM

Just imagine if Bedard would’ve pulled a Matthews and netted 4 in his first game… the hockey world would be on its head! https://t.co/DX27KTDX1p

Wicked pass to create the chance, wicked anticipation to see the opportunity to do a wraparound, and quick execution for his first career goal. Congratulations, Mr. Bedard. https://t.co/83E2sMfTuW
