Bedard tied numerous records in Canada's 5-1 win over Team Sweden on New Year's eve. Fans wanted to see what Connor Bedard would do next including Team Canada alumni Jordan Eberle.
Eberle has gone on to have a solid career and is a big part of the Seattle Kraken. Eberle decided to give Bedard a special message wishing him luck and cheering him on to a hopeful gold medal again this tournament.
Bedard didn't disappoint, scoring the first goal of the game to pass Jordan Eberle for most goals by a Canadian, as well as passing Eric Lindros for most points by a Canadian player all time and most points in a single tournament.
Bedard would get an assist on Dylan Guenther's goal to make it 2-0 Canada. Unfortunately for Canada Slovakia would battle back down 3-1 to force overtime, winner goes on lower goes home.
Bedard would then put the team on his back dangle through the Slovakian players and he pulled off a filthy deke on the Slovakia goaltender to send Canada to the Semi Finals Vs Team USA.
