Connor Bedard led the way with four shots on goal, tied with one other player. He had a hit and a block as well. He was dominated in the faceoff circle, going five for 13, or winning only 38% of his draws.
Bedard was on the ice for 20:52 of ice time as the coaching staff clearly want him out there to score. He clearly stayed out as long as he could most times.
Going forward, it may be best to limit his shift length to stay fresh, but his total time on ice will always be around, or over, the 20-minute mark.
