Chicago Blackhawks vs Pittsburgh Penguins
It's the NHL season opener for both teams Tuesday, a time for the Pittsburgh Penguins and visiting Chicago Blackhawks to unveil their lineups and get a new start toward trying to return to the playoffs.Pittsburgh captain, center and sure Hall of Fame inductee Sidney Crosby will be on the opposite side from Chicago highly touted rookie center Connor Bedard, the top pick in the 2023 draft.
He had an incredibly active first offseason, punctuated by trading for reigning and three-time Norris Trophy winner Erik Karlsson to provide a one-two punch with Letang on the blueline, as well as bringing in several new forwards, primarily to compete for what will be a revamped bottom two lines. He led the junior Western Hockey League with 71 goals and 143 points in 57 games last season. Now he will play his first NHL game against Crosby, his childhood idol.
Chicago second-year coach Luke Richardson gave a nod to Bedard's natural gifts --"He sees differently than us, so we're going to have to have trust in a guy with that kind of talent and vision," he said -- but cautioned that the young star still is a rookie.
