"It's going to be pretty nasty" - Connor Bedard weighs in on Patrick Kane's return to Chicago
Chicago Blackhawks rookie Connor Bedard eagerly awaits the team's upcoming clash against the Detroit Red Wings on Feb. 25. Ahead of the game, there's much anticipation centered around the return of Patrick Kane to Chicago, this time sporting the Red Wings jersey.
Bedard, who has been in impressive form since his recovery from a jaw injury, joins many who are awaiting Kane's homecoming to the Windy City.
"I'm just pumped for the video tribute," Bedard said. "I think it's going to be pretty nasty. He had some sick highlights here. I've watched every one of his mixtapes probably 100 times, so I'm pumped for that."
Despite wearing a face shield for protection, Bedard has been on fire, tallying points in each of his games back on the ice. From recording an assist in his first game against the Penguins to notching a goal and an assist against the Senators, Bedard's impact has been undeniable.
In his most recent game against the Hurricanes, Connor Bedard had a goal and two assists, maintaining his status as the league's top rookie.
Patrick Kane, meanwhile, has also impressed this season. In 24 games, Kane has tallied nine goals and 14 assists, resulting in a total of 23 points. Despite a plus/minus rating of -5, Kane has remained a consistent offensive threat for his team.

Spencer Martin, making his mark since joining in January, made 14 saves to clinch his third consecutive win. Meanwhile, Connor Bedard impressed for the Blackhawks, tallying a goal and two assists. Despite a valiant effort, Chicago suffered their 21st consecutive road loss.
