The Chicago Blackhawks rookie center helped bring in a 0.8 rating and a record-breaking 1.43 million viewers on ESPN.
Bedard, the No. 1 pick in the 2023 NHL Draft, made his career debut on Tuesday in a 4-3 win against the Pittsburgh Penguins — a game that drew the largest regular-season cable audience ever that wasn’t a Winter Classic matchup. Bedard’s presence helped bring in a 0.8 rating and a record-breaking 1.43 million viewers on ESPN.
Bedard picked up an assist in the game to record his first career point and then notched his first goal a night later against the Boston Bruins, who beat the Blackhawks 3-1. The 18-year-old became the third-youngest player in Blackhawks history to score a goal. Think he’ll get two or more? That’s listed at +850, and getting a hat trick in his first 20 NHL games can be wagered on at +650. Scoring a goal against each Central Division team is currently +700.
The 18-year-old burst on the scene in 2018 and helped lead the Canadian under-18 team to a pair of championships. He went on to play in the Western Hockey League for the Regina Pats beginning in 2020 before becoming the top draft pick that everyone coveted.
