Blackhawks' Connor Bedard: Grabs three points Tuesday
Rotowire
Bedard scored two goals, including one on a power-play, and tallied the game-winning assist in Tuesday's 4-3 overtime win over the Senators.
Bedard was the hero in Chicago's season finale with a three-point night. He tallied the first goal of the game just 88 seconds into the first period before he later tallied a power-play goal in the second period. He capped off Tuesday's performance with the game-winning assist on Frank Nazar's winning goal just 48 seconds into overtime. The 19-year-old Bedard finishes the regular season with 23 goals, 44 assists and 195 shots on net in 82 games this season. The rising star saw a slight reduction in points per game and shots on goal this season. However, his durability in his sophomore season helped him reach a new career high of 67 points, with 15 of those points coming in his last 15 games. With the addition of Spencer Knight and the emergence of linemate Ryan Donato, Bedard is already in an improved situation for the start of the 2025-26 season.

Rotowire
Bedard scored a power-play goal, tallied an assist and put three shots on net in Saturday's 5-4 shootout loss to Winnipeg.
Bedard found the back of the net on a power play in the first period before distributing the primary helper on Ryan Donato's game-tying goal in the third period. Even though Bedard then posted the first goal of the shootout with a wrist shot past Connor Hellebuyck, it wasn't enough as the Jets responded with back-to-back tallies to win the game. Overall, the 19-year-old Bedard has 21 goals, 42 assists and 191 shots on net in 80 appearances this season. While his point total from this season will be worse on a per-game basis than his rookie campaign, Bedard's 63 points this year represent a new career high. He's turned up the heat down the stretch with 11 points in his last 13 games, giving him a reason to hold his head high headed into year three with the Blackhawks.

Rotowire
Bedard scored a power-play goal in Thursday's 3-1 loss to the Kings.
Bedard found the back of the twine midway through the second period with a slap shot that went past Darcy Kuemper, but that'd be all the offense the Blackhawks would muster in this one.

Blackhawks' Connor Bedard: Eighteen points in last 17 games
Rotowire
Bedard scored a goal Tuesday in a 4-1 win over the Lightning.
Bedard has 18 points (seven goals, 11 assists) in his past 17 games, and he's on a three-game, three-point run (one goal, two assists). Bedard is essentially doing things on his own in Chicago, and even more so now that they're dismantling the team for yet another high draft pick. He has 44 points (14 goals, 30 assists) and 118 shots in 50 games this season. We can't wait to see him take that big step forward once the team surrounds him with some elite talent.
Bedard notched a power-play assist, two shots on goal and a minus-2 rating in Sunday's 4-2 loss to the Wild.
Bedard set up Seth Jones' third-period tally.

Bedard hasn't been able to show much growth on offense in his sophomore campaign, and it's an issue with shot volume -- he averaged nearly three shots per game last season but is under 2.5 per contest in 2024-25, wiping out the benefits of a marginal increase in shooting percentage.
