Throughout the grueling NHL season, these budding stars have captured the attention of fans and pundits alike with their remarkable performances on the ice. Despite facing adversity in the form of a broken jaw that sidelined him for a portion of the campaign, Connor Bedard managed to amass an impressive 61 points in just 68 games, showcasing his undeniable talent and impact on the Blackhawks' lineup.
While Bedard's offensive prowess rightfully earns him recognition as a frontrunner for the Calder Trophy, Brock Faber's stellar defensive play and reliability on the blue line for the Minnesota Wild, along with Luke Hughes' dynamic playmaking abilities and contribution to the New Jersey Devils, have also propelled them into contention for the coveted award.
