Connor Bedard is projected to be the 1st pick in the 2023 NHL draft. He is currently playing for Team Canada at the U18 World Juniors in Kaufbeuren, Germany. Bedard has already been compared to Connor McDavid multiple times, with good reason, as he puts up the points to be in that discussion.
Bedard scored 2 goals in the game and his dominance was again on display as shown, when he scored this ridiculous short-handed goal, he went over to the Finnish Bench and talked trash.
Bedard helped keep this contest competitive, along with Kemell who had a hat-trick.
Finland went on to win the contest 6-5 to qualify for the u18 World Juniors quarterfinals.
