Connor Bedard will be the main attraction at the NHL Winter Classic, taking place at Wrigley Field. This event marks one of his first experiences skating outdoors, a contrast to his upbringing in warmer Vancouver. Despite the Blackhawks' recent struggles, Bedard has excelled under interim coach Anders Sorensen, scoring 13 points in 11 games. He enters the Classic on a four-game point streak, easing previous concerns about his development.
