Bedard Comments On Matthews
Connor Bedard is widely regarded as the best prospect since Connor McDavid but most people tend to underrate how Auston Matthews came into the league just one year after McDavid arrived.
The 2016 and 2023 first-overall picks are set to face off for the first time tomorrow night when the Blackhawks head to Toronto for their fourth game of the season.
Just ahead of this game, the Blackhawks rookie has commented on Auston Matthews, specifically, his shot.
"He's someone that I feel like pioneered a certain shot. He's got 6 [goals] in 2 [games], so he's doing something right. Ever since he came into the league, he's been someone I've loved to watch...so I'm excited to go against him." - Connor Bedard on Auston Matthews
Two Hot Starts
Matthews has started the 2023-24 campaign off quite hot scoring back-to-back hat tricks and leading the Maple Leafs to two straight victories.
