Chicago Blackhawks are Making a Promising Comeback
The Chicago Blackhawks were the pride of Chicago for half a decade. They competed with the likes of Duncan Keith, Jonathan Toews, Andrew Shaw, and Patrick Kane. Fast forward to now, they have suddenly picked up speed, especially with third-year player Connor Bedard leading the league through 16 games in active points streaked, primary points, and points.
He did have a dump off last year but now Bedard is starting the season better than ever with some promising hopes.
Beginning with Andrei Burakovksy, he has played solid staying up to par with Bedard on the top line. Without him, he would not be Bedard’s Leon to McDavid.
Another factor is Oliver Moore being promoted to the NHL. He is a highly touted prospect and even though Macklin Celebrini just tied Sidney Cosby for most points by a teenager through his first 16 games, trailing Wayne Gretzky. Moore would make up for, thereof, talent sitting with another player quietly sitting on the power play, Artyom Levshunov.
Overall, the Chicago Blackhawks currently possess a 8-5 record and have a chance to make some noise in the city of Chicago, again.

Artyom Levshunov to miss time
Artyom Levshunov is forgoing the NHL Prospects Showcase due to a foot injury. A puck happened to severely hit his right foot and will miss some time. The showcase is always an opportunity to boost their prospects at NHL training camp but with that being said, Levshunov is a former No.2 overall pick by the Blackhawks touted to be Connor Bedard’s running mate going forward.

Bedard is Setting the Standard
Connor Bedard has only played two games and he has electrified the masses. To the point, fans ought to take strong consideration of his status as a fellow rookie.
The first night, Bedard set the standard in a back-to-back series of contests between the Pittsburgh Penguins and the Boston Bruins. There, he accumulated one point to add to his first-ever goal in the NHL against Boston Swedish goaltender Linus Ullmark.
Ullmark allowed merely one goal in his home victory against the Blackhawks but if Bedard is proving one thing so far it is resilience for his size on both sides of the rink.
He has mastered this time again and will do once more when the Blackhawks enter a rowdy Montreal arena on the 14th of October. Bedard is off to a competitive start.
The key to his success will be limiting bad shots and becoming a less clone of Connor McDavid.
