Bedard Nears 20-Goal Milestone
In the 2023-24 NHL season, rookie sensation Connor Bedard is nearing a remarkable milestone by scoring close to 20 goals. His accomplishments on the ice have garnered significant attention. However, it’s important to recognize the contributions of his teammate, Tyler Bertuzzi.
Tyler Bertuzzi’s Impressive Season
This season, Bertuzzi has already scored 16 goals and provided 10 assists in just 27 games. His performance has been a key asset to the Blackhawks’ lineup. Last season, he registered 21 goals, trailing only his career high of 30 goals set during the 2021-22 season with the Detroit Red Wings. In that year, he also achieved a personal best of 62 points.
Upcoming Matchups
The Chicago Blackhawks, currently with a record of 13 wins, 11 losses, and 6 ties, are preparing for a crucial matchup against the Detroit Red Wings at home on Saturday. They recently bounced back from two significant defeats, including a combined score of 13-1, by shutting out the New York Rangers 3-0.
The Blackhawks’ next opponent, the St. Louis Blues, has recently had the upper hand against them. In their last five home games against Chicago, the Blues have secured four victories. Overall, they have won five out of their last six matchups.
Key Player: Philip Broberg
- Defenseman Philip Broberg is expected to contribute to the Blues’ efforts.
- He recorded his second multi-point game of the season in a recent loss.
- Broberg has tallied five points (one goal and four assists) in seven career games against the Blackhawks.
As the season progresses, both Bedard’s quest for 20 goals and Bertuzzi’s consistent performance will be critical for the Blackhawks. Maintaining focus on these players could lead to a successful campaign for Chicago.
