If you’ve been in the 300 level at the United Center, there are always people who are more than happy to let the Blackhawks know what to do with the puck as soon as they enter the offensive zone.
SHOOOOT IT!
Last year, the Blackhawks averaged an NHL-worst 24.5 shots on goal per game. That was one full shot per game less than Vancouver, who ranked 31st in the league. Not great.
Yes, it’s an incredibly small sample size against two teams in their respective home openers on the road, but the Blackhawks have started the new year averaging only 21.5 shots on goal per game — which (again, small sample size) ranks 29th in the league.
We’re still looking for the Blackhawks to have more people consistently getting the puck on the net, but that doesn’t mean they aren’t making an effort. According to Natural Stat Trick, the Blackhawks have attempted 101 shots on goal in their first two games and have at least 50 attempts in both games.

According to Natural Stat Trick, Bedard has been on the ice (all situations) for a team-leading 46 Blackhawks shot attempts and 19 shots on goal. By my math, that means Bedard has been on the ice for over 44 percent of the Blackhawks’ shots on goal to start the season.
Bedard is tied for second on the team with four shots on goal himself. But he’s attempted 13 shots on net thru two games and had three high danger scoring chances personally.
He found the score sheet for the first time with a goal and an assist in Boston. With the Blackhawks’ home opener on Saturday, figure Bedard will want to stay in the point column(s) and get the United Center faithful to their feet against the Montreal Canadiens.
If you think Bedard will put at least one (1 — single) shot on goal in Saturday’s home opener and you haven’t given Bleacher Nation Fantasy a try yet, we’ve got a Bonus Pick prop for you! New users can take Bedard to put at least one shot on net to open the home slate of the Blackhawks’ Centennial season with a special weekend bonus.
