October 12 - Blackhawks rookie sensation Connor Bedard scored his first career NHL goal in the first period, but the host Boston Bruins rallied for a 3-1, season-opening win over Chicago on Wednesday night. David Pastrnak scored twice after Trent Frederic netted the first Boston goal, and Linus Ullmark stopped 20 of the 21 shots he faced as Boston won for the 16th time in its past 17 regular-season games. Matthew Poitras (19 years, 215 days) became the ninth-youngest player in Bruins history to record a point in his NHL debut, assisting on Frederic's game-tying goal. Bedard had a game-high six shots on goal in 21:44 of time on ice, though Boston finished with a 33-21 edge in that department. With his goal, Bedard became the fourth-ever No.
