Connor Bedard has logged over 150 games so far in his early on NHL career and we are now seeing near identical simularities between the 19-year old sensation and a former Chicago Blackhawks forward.

As several new reports confirm insight on Jonathan Toews' NHL comeback, many have began to look back on the three-time Stanley Cup Champions career.
Chicitysports recently made a major revelation on how similar the two's career starts are compared side by side, and they are near identical.
Bedard has 45 goals and 83 assists for 128 career points in 150 games through his first two professional seasons. The phenom played all 82 games this past year after missing 14 games in his Calder Trophy campaign as a rookie due to a fractured jaw. Bedard has collected over 20 goals and more than 60 points in each of his first two seasons in the league, and the hope is that he can take a massive step forward in the fall.

Johnathan Toews is one of the most decorated Blackhawks in franchise history. He served as the captain for over a decade and was a driving force in their three Stanley Cups that the organization won in the 2010s. In his first 150 career games, Toews had 60 goals and 68 assists, totaling 128 points. Despite Bedard having way more assists and less goals, the two having the exact same amount of points in their first 150 games is very promising to say the least for fans.

Bedard and the Blackhawks now buckle up for the 2025-26 NHL season with a new head coach that was just announced, as they hope to get back into their winning ways.
