This game is meaningless but fun for hockey fans to see Macklin Celebrini vs. Connor Bedard, the 2024 and 2023 No. 1 overall NHL Draft picks, respectively. Celebrini is a bit ahead right now but also surrounded by a better roster. He also got to play on Team Canada and Bedard didn't. My point being, Bedard will be fired up as he has been a bit surpassed (so far) and was the more touted guy. The Hawks should score plenty on Yaroslav Askarov (3.68 road GAA). Obviously more likely Bedard has a helper than goal (+145) -- he has gone nine straight games without a goal.
