Chicago Blackhawks rookie Connor Bedard skates into the spotlight when a new NHL season begins on Tuesday as Alexander Ovechkin looks to close in on one of hockey's treasured records and Canadians dream of an end to 30-year Stanley Cup drought.
The season launches on three fronts with the Vegas Golden Knights raising their first Stanley Cup championship banner before taking on the Seattle Kraken while the Tampa Bay Lightning host the Nashville Predators.
The Blackhawks, who finished 30th among 32 teams last season, hit the jackpot when they won the draft lottery and used it to claim the dynamic 18-year-old forward, who is projected to become the franchise cornerstone. With an aging core and their championship window closing the Penguins signalled they will be all in acquiring Erik Karlsson, the Norris Trophy winner last season as the NHL's top defenseman.
An Edmonton or Toronto win would end what has been a humbling 30-year Stanley Cup drought for hockey obsessed Canadians. An Original Six franchise playing in hockey's most fanatical market, the Leafs have been a business success routinely finishing at or near the top of Forbes rankings of most valuable NHL properties.
