Six players made their NHL debut for the Chicago Blackhawks this past season: Connor Bedard, Kevin Korchinski, Louis Crevier, Landon Slaggert, Ethan Del Mastro and Frank Nazar. Four of those six rookies found the back of the net for the first time in the NHL, which provided some magical moments during a long season.
As we embark on a long summer of watching the draft lottery again and considering names to add to the NHL roster to make the Blackhawks better during the 2024-25 season, let’s take a moment to enjoy the first goals from Bedard, Korchinski, Slaggert and Nazar.
