Connor Bedard Returns To Chicago Blackhawks Lineup But Gets Bested By Childhood Idol Sidney Crosby

Thursday's episode begins with a discussion on 2023 No. 1 overall pick Connor Bedard making a surprise return to the Chicago Blackhawks lineup against the Pittsburgh Penguins after missing 14 games with a fractured jaw. Host Jack Bushman dives into Bedard making his presence felt in his first game back, Sidney Crosby leading the Penguins to an easy 4-1 win, the noticeable difference in the Blackhawks' lineup when Bedard plays, Lukas Reichel getting healthy scratched, and Arvid Soderblom's first start in nearly one month. The episode concludes with a quick look at the current odds for the 2024 Calder Trophy for NHL Rookie of the Year, and whether Bedard winds up coming away with the award.
