On Monday, the National Hockey League made an announcement regarding Vancouver native and Chicago Blackhawks rookie forward Connor Bedard following a strong week.

In a post on their social media, the National Hockey League announced that Connor Bedard has been named second star of the week for March 11th to 17th after putting up seven points (two goals, five assists) in three games.

"⭐⭐ Connor Bedard earned a share of the League points (2-5�7 in 3 GP) and became just the fifth by an 18-year-old in NHL history with a five-point game and the third with a four-assist game." The NHL said.

Bedard, 18, has had a solid rookie campaign thus far and is nearly a point-per-game player despite missing roughly six weeks of action. In 54 games this season, Bedard has recorded 53 points (21 goals, 32 assists), 18 penalty minutes and is a minus-37.

There's no doubt that, as of today, Connor Bedard is the favourite for the Calder Trophy as the National Hockey League's best rookie for the 2023-24 season and could potentially win in via a unanimous vote.
