Connor Bedard gets crushed by Tyler Tucker

Learning life lessons can be tough, especially when they need to be taught more than once. NHL rookie sensation Connor Bedard experienced this for the second time this season when he was on the receiving end of a significant hit from Tyler Tucker.

Last night, the Chicago Blackhawks clashed with the St. Louis Blues in a game that wouldn't affect their final season standings. However, players still played with intensity. As Bedard entered the zone and attempted to retrieve a loose puck along the half wall, he was met with a massive hit from Tyler Tucker.

While the hit was considered clean, any hit on Bedard usually prompts a response, given his current vulnerable state. As he prepares for next season without the protective bubble, it becomes increasingly crucial for Bedard to be more mindful of his presence on the ice to avoid missing more games due to hits.

Do you think Connor Bedard can thrive in the Stanley Cup Playoffs without putting on some muscle?
