Rotowire
Bedard scored a goal and added an assist in Friday's 4-2 loss to the Blue Jackets.

Blackhawks' Connor Bedard: Point in each of last two games
Rotowire
Bedard scored a goal Thursday in a 6-2 loss to Pittsburgh.
The star center, who has 50 points in 41 games, has struggled to get in a groove since his return from injury Jan. 9. Bedard has two goals and four assists in his last 10 games (37 shots). He does have a point in each of his last two games (one goal, one assist), as well as 12 shots, so a scoring burst feels imminent.
Bedard scored an empty-net goal and fired three shots on net in Monday's 2-0 shutout win over the Jets.
Bedard's empty-net tally with just over a minute left to play in Tuesday's contest was his first goal in five games since returning to Chicago's lineup from a shoulder injury. Overall, the 20-year-old phenom is up to 20 goals, 48 points and 122 shots on net across 36 games this season. While the injury led to a hit in his overall production compared to the league's other stars, he is ninth in the NHL with 1.33 points per game. Additionally, he hasn't relied heavily on the power play for offensive production, as just 14 of his 48 points have come with the man advantage. Despite already missing 13 games this season, he is still on pace to surpass his career high of 67 points, which was set across 82 regular-season appearances in 2024-25.

Blackhawks' Connor Bedard: Upgraded to day-to-day
Rotowire
Bedard (shoulder) won't be in the lineup versus St. Louis on Wednesday but is considered day-to-day after that, Charlie Roumeliotis of WGN Radio reports.
Bedard was originally ruled out until January and was expected back before the Olympic break, though that leaves a wide range of possible return dates. The fact that the young phenom is moving into the day-to-day category should be an indication that he'll be back as the Hawks' first-line center sooner rather than later.

Blackhawks' Connor Bedard: Out until January
Rotowire
Bedard (upper body) won't need surgery but will be sidelined until the calendar flips to 2026, Ben Pope of the Chicago Sun-Times reports Monday.
Bedard was already placed on injured reserve, so his timeline shouldn't come as a huge surprise. Given his potential return date, the 20-year-old center should still be in the mix for a spot on Canada's Olympic roster in February. While Bedard is on the shelf, Frank Nazar figures to take on the first-line center role, though Jason Dickinson could also be in the mix.
