3 takeaways from the Chicago Blackhawks' first week of the season

Bedard and Teravainen on the same line is working

Going into this season, many wondered if Teuvo Teravainen and Connor Bedard would start the season as linemates considering the chemistry Bedard had with Philipp Kurashev last season.

So far, Teravainen and Bedard have been the Blackhawks' best duo and have contributed for most of their offense. The two are currently tied for the team lead in points with five apiece, with Teravainen leading the way with three goals.

The combination of both player's hockey IQ seemed like it would be a great match on paper, and that speculation has been correct in these first three games.

Bedard is already looking like an improved player this season and seems much more acclimated to the speed of the NHL. He is playing with more confidence as well which has resulted in some near jaw-dropping plays out of the 19-year-old.

Both Teravainen and Bedard have seemed to find each other quite well and have the ability to make the high-skilled plays that were missing last season.

This duo has made an impact at 5-on-5 and on the power play as well. Two of Teravainen's three goals have come on the power play and the unit as a whole looks poised and moves the puck well.

Throughout these first three games, the Blackhawks look as though they have a new offensive duo to lead the charge upfront. It will be exciting to see what they can do as the season goes on.
