Connor Bedard's NHL season so far summed up with one disappointing faceoff stat

Connor Bedard has not had a great year. He is experiencing the all-too-common sophomore slump, and one faceoff stat might be the best way to sum it up. Bedard entered the league to a lot of fanfare last season, but he has regressed in many ways this year.

That includes faceoffs, which he wasn't exactly proficient in last year. In 2023-24, the hockey star had a 38.9% faceoff win percentage. That's not great, but it got even worse in 2024-25.
