NHL: Winnipeg Jets at Chicago Blackhawks - Source: Imagn
37-year-old forward Nick Foligno was named the 35th captain in the history of the Chicago Blackhawks before the 2024-2025 season. Foligno's leadership has always been important as a veteran player on a rebuilding team, that's even more the case now that he wears the C.
2023 first overall pick Connor Bedard has had massive expectations placed on him at such a young age. The 19-year-old had a strong rookie season with 61 points (22 goals, 39 assists) in 68 games. The production has not come as easily this season, as Bedard sits at 26 points (seven goals, 19 assists) in 33 games.
Bedard has shown frustration on and off the ice at times to begin the campaign. His captain Nick Foligno was asked about what he's seen from Bedard in their time together in Chicago when on the "WhatChaosShow."
