The Blackhawks look like a completely different team this year compared to last season. Connor Bedard has been a huge reason why. His hot start to the season has been historically great, as he is currently scoring at a rate not often seen by NHL rookies.

Bedard has a three-game goal scoring streak and goals in four of his last five games. Through his first ten games in the NHL he has a total of five goals. The last time a Blackhawk rookie had five goals through his team's first ten games came nearly 80 years ago, showing just how rare this kind of goal scoring from a rookie really is.
Most of Bedard's goals have been very pretty as well, which is an added bonus for Blackhawks fans.
This proves that Bedard is the real deal. His shot is already at an elite level, capable of beating NHL goalies with regularity. His 16.7% shooting percentage is a testament to how good it is. We will have to wait until we get a larger sample size to truly appreciate how efficient he is with his shooting.
