Blackhawks' Connor Bedard: Two power-play points in loss

Blackhawks' Connor Bedard: Nets PP goal vs. Dallas
Connor Bedard scored a power-play goal in Wednesday's 6-2 win over the Stars.Bedard bolstered Chicago's lead to 3-0 just 41 seconds into the second period with a snap shot while on the power play. This was Bedard's fourth goal of the campaign, but the 19-year-old center is enduring a rough start to the campaign when compared to the numbers he posted as a rookie. He averaged nearly a point per game in 2023-24, with 61 points across 68 regular-season appearances, but he's been limited to "only"16 points in 22 games thus far in 2024-25. Fantasy managers shouldn't worry too much about that, however, and while Bedard could continue to navigate through some growing as a 19-year-old, he remains one of the game's brightest young players.

Blackhawks' Connor Bedard: Supplies two assists
Connor Bedard notched two assists, two hits, two PIM and a plus-2 rating in Tuesday's 3-2 loss to the Ducks.Bedard ended a three-game point drought by setting up both of Jason Dickinson's tallies in the contest. It's been 10 contests since Bedard scored a goal, but he has managed a decent six assists in that span. For fantasy purposes, Bedard played at left wing Tuesday to accommodate Dickinson, a natural center, on the top line. If that lasts long enough, Bedard could gain some positional flexibility. The 19-year-old has three goals, 12 assists, 55 shots on net, eight PIM and a minus-6 rating through 19 appearances this season.

Blackhawks' Connor Bedard: Slides power-play helper
Connor Bedard recorded a power-play assist, three hits, two blocked shots, two PIM and a minus-2 rating in Thursday's 3-1 loss to the Stars.Bedard has four helpers over four games in November, but he has gone six contests without a goal. The 19-year-old is up to 13 points (six on the power play), 50 shots on net, six hits, 11 blocked shots, six PIM and a minus-4 rating through 15 contests overall. Bedard has modestly upped his shot rate this season, but he's converting at just a 6.0 percent clip, so he'll likely benefit from both the higher volume and a little positive regression as the campaign progresses.

Blackhawks' Connor Bedard: Scores once again Saturday
Connor Bedard scored a goal in Saturday's 4-2 loss to the Stars.Bedard has found the back of the net in his last two appearances, and the 19-year-old star center has already notched nine points across nine appearances this season. Even though the Chicago Blackhawks are bound to struggle in 2024-25, Bedard should be one of the team's few productive fantasy options across all formats. The lack of consistency is an issue, though, as he hasn't been able to chip in with points in three of his last six outings.
