Bedard scored a goal on two shots in Tuesday's 4-1 loss to the Oilers.
EDGE Analysis
Bedard put the Blackhawks ahead early Tuesday, burying a top-shelf wrister to give Chicago a 1-0 first-period lead. The goal was the first since Dec. 2 for the 18-year-old Bedard -- he now has 12 goals and 24 points through 28 games this season. While some inconsistency is to be expected in his rookie campaign, Bedard has already demonstrated his elite scoring potential.

Bedard notched two assists in Sunday's 4-2 loss to the Capitals.
EDGE Analysis
Bedard was involved in both of Chicago's goals Sunday, setting up Philipp Kurashev in the first period and Connor Murphy in the third. After a red-hot start to his NHL career, the 18-year-old Bedard has just one goal in his last 10 games, though he's contributed six assists in that span. Overall, the rookie center has 23 points (11 goals, 12 assists) through his first 27 games.

Bedard scored two goals in Sunday's 4-3 loss to the Panthers.
EDGE Analysis
Both goals were highlight-reel beauties. On the first, Bedard stole the puck from Kevin Stenlund in the offensive zone then flipped a no-look shot over Sergei Bobrovsky's shoulder, then on the second he collected a puck in the neutral zone, turned on the jets to get ahead of three Florida players coming over the boards on a line change and then beat Bobrovsky again to his glove side. Bedard is up to nine goals and 13 points through his first 13 NHL games, including four goals and six points in his last two, and while the season is barely a month old, an injury is likely the only thing that could stop the 2023 first overall pick from bringing home a Calder Trophy.

Bedard scored two goals and added two assists in a 5-3 win over the Lightning on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
It was Bedard's first career multipoint NHL game. He's the youngest NHL player (18 years, 115 days old) since 1944 to have a four-point game and the third youngest in history. Bedard is also the youngest in Blackhawks history to record a multi-goal game. Welcome to the Connor Bedard show.

Bedard scored a goal on two shots in the Blackhawks' 5-2 victory over the Panthers on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Bedard scored off the rush to extend the Blackhawks' lead to 4-0. The 2023 first overall pick has lit the lamp in four of his last five games. He will continue to play a major role in Chicago's offense, skating on the first line and top power-play unit.

Bedard scored a goal on three shots and added two PIM in Monday's 8-1 loss to the Coyotes.
EDGE Analysis
Bedard's goal 28 seconds into the game gave the Blackhawks a positive start, but it ended up being a footnote in the blowout loss. The rookie center has three goals over his last four games. He's up to six points, 28 shots on net, seven hits, four PIM and a minus-5 rating through nine contests overall. He's on pace to top the 50-point mark, though there's likely another level to his game that he hasn't established yet.

Bedard scored a power-play goal in a 5-3 loss to Vegas on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Bedard (18 years, 96 days) became the second-youngest player in Blackhawks history to score in their home opener behind Eddie Olczyk (18 years, 56 days; Oct. 11, 1984). The only other teenagers in Chicago history to do the same were Stan Mikita (19 years, 140 days; Oct. 7, 1959) and John Harms (19 years, 187 days; Oct. 29, 1944). Bedard went top cheddar on the power play just 90 seconds into the game.

Bedard picked up an assist Saturday in a 3-2 loss to Montreal.
EDGE Analysis
Bedard is the 10th NHL No. 1 pick, and 10th player in Chicago franchise history, to have a point in each of his first three NHL games. "He was great, he had the puck all night, making plays," Blackhawks forward Corey Perry said. "He's in this league at 18 for a reason." Bedard will end up with more points if the Hawks can get its power play on track. They finished 0-for-7 with the man advantage and haven't scored on the power play in their first three games (0-for-14).

Bedard scored his first NHL goal in the Blackhawks' 3-1 road loss against the Bruins on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Bedard is just the fourth No. 1 overall pick to post at least one point in each of his first two NHL games as an 18-year-old, and he is the first since Colorado's Nathan MacKinnon accomplished the feat in 2013. Bedard ended up taking a team-high six shots on goal, while also notching his first career penalty on a tripping call in the second period. He'll look to keep it rolling Saturday in Montreal.

Bedard recorded an assist and five shots in the Blackhawks' 4-2 win over the Penguins on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Bedard started off his NHL career strong, posting a secondary assist on the Blackhawks' first goal of the game. He also added five shots and one blocked shot in his 21:29 TOI. The first overall pick of the 2023 draft will continue to take on a huge role with the Blackhawks throughout the season and will look to score his first career goal Wednesday against the Bruins.
