Chicago Blackhawks
The Chicago Blackhawks are relying heavily on the development of young star Connor Bedard to lead their future success. Despite adding solid pieces to their roster, the team has struggled to perform well. However, the goaltending duo of Petr Mrazek and Arvid Soderblom has exceeded expectations with a respectable GAA and save percentage. Bedard has been a standout player for the team, along with Seth Jones and Tuevo Teravainen. Although the team lost their last game to the Dallas Stars, they showed competitiveness with help from Pat Maroon. Chicago currently ranks 29th in the league, with a struggling offense and defense, and a record of 3-8.
