Connor Bedard makes more NHL history with sweet assist vs. Red Wings originally appeared on NBC Sports Chicago
Adding another impressive accolade to his Calder Trophy résumé, Connor Bedard matched the franchise record for the longest road point streak by a rookie.
During the first period, the Chicago Blackhawks forward executed a clever pass to Lukas Reichel, who scored his second goal of the season.
Bedard has now equaled Darryl Sutter’s record, set 43 years ago, with a goal or assist in seven straight away games. He’s also tied for the second-longest road point streak in NHL history for a player 18 years or younger, alongside Sidney Crosby, Steve Yzerman, and Sylvain Turgeon. Avalanche center Nathan MacKinnon holds the record with a 16-game rookie point streak in 2013-14.
