Chicago seemed to be playing with more confidence and intensity immediately after the goal.
Bedard has struggled so far from the faceoff circle, he is currently 0-8 on faceoffs. He looked nervous in the first period but has flashed his skills. Especially with his pass that started the play leading to Donato’s goal.
The Penguins have not been giving Bedard space, not allowing the No. 1 overall pick to shoot the puck much in the opener. The Penguins are showing major respect to Bedard in his first NHL game and understand just how dangerous he can be.
