Bedard notched two assists and five shots on goal in Tuesday's 5-2 loss to Utah.
Bedard had a hand in both of the Blackhawks' goals, making him a bright spot in the loss. The 19-year-old will be asked to carry a large share of the offense again this season, though he looks more than capable of that task. He produced 22 goals, 39 assists and 206 shots on net last season while also taking a minus-44 rating over 68 appearances. With a slightly better supporting cast, Bedard could push for the 70-point mark in 2024-25.
