The Chicago Blackhawks are taking on the Seattle Kraken tonight, and the Chicago Blackhawks will look to breakout offensively, as the team has only scored 3 goals in the last 4 games.
While scoring 3 goals in 4 games isnt nearly enough for long-term success, there may be a connection between the struggling offence and head coach Luke Richardson frequent line changes.
According to the Chicago Tribune, The Chicago Blackhawks changed up the forward lines at practice Wednesday, something they've done often this season.
But when it comes to Connor Bedard's line - and the combination of linemates that best suits him - perhaps the forward has grown tired of that line of questioning.
The latest five-on-five combination features Philipp Kurashev - Bedard's most common linemate last season (764 minutes) and Teuvo Teräväinen, his most common linemate this season (139 minutes).
As an original 6 team, the Chicago Blackhawks often receive extra media attention, fuelled by the passionate loyalty of their die-hard fanbase.
On this particular occasion, it seems that Connor Bedard has grown weary of the media's persistent questioning of his new line-mates.
As it stands, Connor Bedard is focused on playing well, and scoring some goals.
