Here's why the Chicago Blackhawks must keep Jason Dickinson and Connor Bedard on the same line
The Chicago Blackhawks unfortunately lost to the Anahiem Ducks last night by a score of 3-2, but the team is finally showing signs of some much needed offensive production.
Chicago Blackhawks head coach Luke Richardson has been under heavy scrutiny as of late, mainly due to his questionable line shuffling on a daily basis -- but he may have finally found a duo that works.
Luke Richardson's most interesting change was on the top line. Instead of having Connor Bedard in the middle, he was placed on the left of Jason Dickinson, with Joey Anderson on the right.
The Hockey News suggests that Anderson and Dickinson are good bottom-six forwards but nobody expected to see them on the top line three-quarters of the way through November -- especially considering Anderson's offensive slump.
With that being said, Jason Dickinson and Connor Bedard have emerged as a dynamic duo for the Hawks. Last night, Dickinson tallied 2 impressive goals, both assisted by Connor Bedard.
For now, Bedard should be on Dickinson's wing. It doesn't have to last for the entire season if they go cold but this line should remain intact as long as it stays productive. There has been a lot of line shuffling from Richardson, but it's time to see what Dickinson and Bedard can muster up together.

Jason Dickinson and Connor Bedard will look to keep their chemistry going when they take on the Florida Panthers on Thursday.
