Connor Bedard almost completed his NHL debut checklist, but he forgot one important tool.
The Chicago Blackhawks rookie was so excited to hit the PPG Paints Arena ice against the Pittsburgh Penguins on Tuesday, he forgot to grab his stick coming out of the locker room.
In a video during ESPN’s broadcast, Bedard high-fived his Blackhawks teammates outside the locker room before realizing he was without his stick and had to run back to retrieve it.
After, with his stick in hand, Bedard took his rookie lap with fellow newcomer Kevin Korchinski.
