Bedard found the back of the net in Tuesday's 7-2 preseason loss to Minnesota.
EDGE Analysis
Bedard scored with the man advantage late in the second period, but his marker merely reduced the Wild's edge to 6-2. The 19-year-old forward was a standout in his rookie campaign, collecting 22 goals and 61 points in 68 contests last season. He should do even better as a sophomore while serving on Chicago's top line and first power-play unit.
