WATCH: Connor Bedard scores first career NHL goal with Chicago Blackhawks originally appeared on NBC Sports Chicago
BOSTON — Connor Bedard is officially on the board, the first of what should be many in his professional career. And it didn’t take long.
The Chicago Blackhawks’ No. 1 overall pick scored his first career NHL goal on Wednesday against the Boston Bruins at TD Garden in just his second game, and it was a pretty one.
Early in the first period, Bedard came down the right side, shot it on net, followed up his own rebound, and scored on a wraparound to put the Blackhawks ahead 1-0.
