Blackhawks star Connor Bedard was extremely honest on the toll losing has taken on him after a loss to the Flames.

It’s really frustrating. We’re competitive athletes, and we take a lot of pride in our games, our group as a team, and our fan base,” said Connor Bedard after another loss by the Chicago Blackhawks on Monday night.

The Chicago Blackhawks rallied from a 1-0 deficit in the first period with two goals in the second, but they lost 3-2 in a shootout. Connor Bedard scored for the second straight game.

CHICAGO- The Chicago Blackhawks know that they have a stud in Connor Bedard. There are detractors because there are other parts of his game that need work (as is the case for every teenage NHL player) but there is no denying his offensive upside.

Yegor Sharangovich had a short-handed goal and an assist, and Rory Kerins had two assists in his NHL debut for the Flames (21-14-7), who have won three in a row and four of six. Dustin Wolf, who is 7-1-1 in his past nine starts, made 23 saves.
