Connor Bedard Likely to Make His Season Debut Tuesday

Chicago Blackhawks forward Connor Bedard (knee) is likely to make his season debut in Tuesday's matchup with Sidney Crosby and the Pittsburgh Penguins, ESPN's Emily Kaplan reports. The Blackhawks captain fully participated in Sunday's practice, and on Monday, head coach Jeff Blashill said Bedard is "trending toward" playing against Pittsburgh. This is huge news because Bedard wasn't initially expected to play this month after offseason shoulder surgery. Bedard is set to skate alongside Patrick Kane and Roman Kanstserov on Chicago's top line in Tuesday's game. He has recorded four points (one goal, three assists) in five career games against Crosby's crew.

Connor Bedard Logs Full Practice Sunday

Chicago Blackhawks forward Connor Bedard (shoulder) was a full participant in Sunday's practice, Tracey Myers of NHL.com reports. This suggests Bedard may be ready for his season debut soon, though Blackhawks head coach Jeff Blashill said he still has no official return date. The Blackhawks captain was initially expected to be out until November due to offseason shoulder surgery. However, it looks like his season debut could come much sooner, and Bedard hasn't been ruled out for Tuesday's clash against Pittsburgh. In practice, Bedard took line rushes with Patrick Kane and Roman Kantserov.

Connor Bedard Remains Without Timeline for Return

Chicago Blackhawks forward Connor Bedard (shoulder) still has no timeline for his return, Ben Pope of the Chicago Sun-Times reports. Before Tuesday's season opener against Vegas, Blackhawks general manager Kyle Davidson told reporters the team might have a firm timeline for Bedard's return sometime next month. Bedard underwent shoulder surgery in July and was ruled out for four months, suggesting he won't make his 2026-27 debut until November. With Bedard unavailable, rookie Roman Kantserov opened the season as Chicago's first-line center on Tuesday night, logging 17:07 of ice time, including 2:36 on the power play.

Connor Bedard's Recovery on Track

Chicago Blackhawks forward Connor Bedard (shoulder) is on track with his recovery from offseason surgery, Scott Powers of The Athletic reports. According to Powers, Bedard's recovery "is going as planned so far." The young Blackhawks star underwent shoulder surgery in early June and was ruled out for four months. Bedard recently began skating in a limited capacity. He still needs one more month to recover, so fantasy managers must take into account that Bedard won't be available at the start of the season.

Connor Bedard Signs Five-Year, $75 Million Extension With Blackhawks

Chicago Blackhawks forward Connor Bedard (shoulder) has signed a five-year, $75 million contract extension, giving him the third-highest cap hit in the NHL next season. His average annual value of $15 million is surpassed only by Anaheim's Leo Carlsson ($18 million) and Minnesota's Kirill Kaprizov ($17 million). Bedard, who turned 21 on Friday, was a restricted free agent. Unfortunately, Bedard's season debut in 2026-27 will be delayed by shoulder surgery. On July 9, the Blackhawks announced that Bedard is expected to be out for approximately four months. Once he's back, he will set his sights on maintaining a point-per-game pace for a second consecutive year. Bedard finished last term with 75 points (30 goals, 45 assists) in 69 outings.

Connor Bedard to Miss Start of Season Due to Shoulder Surgery

Chicago Blackhawks forward Connor Bedard (shoulder) underwent surgery and won't be available for the start of the 2026-27 season, ESPN's Greg Wyshynski reports. Chicago announced that Bedard is expected to make a full recovery in "an approximate timeline of four months." The new season will start in late September. Bedard, who is a restricted free agent, injured his left shoulder a week ago during a training session. Last season, the young superstar missed time due to a right shoulder injury, finishing with 75 points (30 goals, 45 assists) in 69 contests. It's unfortunate that Bedard has suffered another injury blow. However, he should provide outstanding fantasy value once he has recovered. Until then, Frank Nazar appears poised to serve as the top-line center.

Connor Bedard Injures Left Shoulder in Practice

Chicago Blackhawks forward Connor Bedard suffered an apparent shoulder injury during Thursday's practice. During a three-on-three drill, he lost his balance and crashed into the boards. As he stood up, Bedard clutched his right shoulder and eventually left the ice. Although the offseason has just begun and Bedard has plenty of time to recover before the next campaign, this is still concerning. The 20-year-old star dealt with a right shoulder injury in 2025-26, missing about a month. Now he may be forced to spend part of his offseason nursing an injury to his other shoulder. Before being knocked out of the lineup in December, Bedard was among the NHL's top scorers. He finished his third NHL campaign with a career-high 75 points (30 goals, 45 assists) in 69 games. Bedard became a restricted free agent on July 1.

Connor Bedard Has Two Assists in Season Finale

Chicago Blackhawks forward Connor Bedard wrapped up his third NHL campaign with a two-assist effort in Wednesday's 5-2 win over the San Jose Sharks. His playmaking ability fueled Chicago's four-goal third period, which turned a 2-1 deficit into a comfortable win for the home team. Bedard joined Denis Savard and Eddie Olczyk as the third Blackhawks player to record a 75-point campaign at age 20 or younger. A midseason shoulder injury kept Bedard sidelined for a significant portion of the campaign, but he still finished as Chicago's top scorer, with 75 points (30 goals, 45 assists) in 69 outings. The top pick of the 2023 draft averaged at least a point per game for the first time in his young career. It should be the first of many, as the 20-year-old has firmly established himself among the NHL's new generation of superstars.

Connor Bedard Sets Up Two Goals in Overtime Win

Chicago Blackhawks forward Connor Bedard recorded two assists in Monday's 3-2 overtime victory against the Utah Mammoth. He assisted Andrew Burakovsky on a game-tying goal in the second period and added his second helper when Frank Nazar scored in overtime. With his 44th career multi-point game, Bedard tied Denis Savard for the most by a Blackhawks player at age 20 or younger. At the same time, he broke Eddie Olczyk's franchise record for most assists by a player aged 20 or younger. Bedard reached 117 career assists on Monday night. He's had 34 helpers this season, along with 26 goals in 51 games. The Mammoth will hope to do a better job containing Bedard in Thursday's rematch.

Connor Bedard Returns to Practice

Chicago Blackhawks forward Connor Bedard (illness) returned to practice on Wednesday. Bedard was absent from Monday's game against the Edmonton Oilers because of illness, but his participation in practice suggests he could return to the lineup for Thursday's tilt versus the Calgary Flames. Bedard has finished three of his last four appearances with multiple points and leads the Blackhawks with 46 points (19 goals, 27 assists) in 33 games. The 20-year-old recently returned from a shoulder injury, playing in only two games this month.

Connor Bedard Returns to Action Friday Night

Chicago Blackhawks forward Connor Bedard (shoulder) will rejoin the lineup on Friday against the Washington Capitals. Chicago's ascending star has recovered from a shoulder injury, which kept him sidelined for 12 games. Bedard is having a special campaign, scoring 44 points (19 goals, 25 assists) in 31 games. On Friday, Bedard is expected to skate on the first line alongside Ryan Greene and Andre Burakovsky. Additionally, he will reclaim his spot on the first power-play unit. Washington has struggled defensively in recent games and has a 77.2 percent penalty kill, giving Bedard a chance to make a big impact in his return.

Connor Bedard Set to Return Before Olympic Break

Chicago Blackhawks forward Connor Bedard (shoulder) is expected to return to action before the Olympic break, Scott Powers of The Athletic reports. Chicago's young star is recovering from a shoulder injury and missed his 11th straight game on Sunday against the Vegas Golden Knights. The Blackhawks have their final game before the international break on Feb. 4. Before his injury, Bedard was battling for the Art Ross Trophy as the NHL's top scorer. He has posted 44 points (19 goals, 25 assists) in 31 outings this season. Currently, Chicago is using Ryan Greene as Bedard's replacement on the first line, giving him more fantasy appeal.

Connor Bedard Out Until 2026

Chicago Blackhawks forward Connor Bedard (upper body) won't return to action until January. The team placed him on Injured Reserve and plans to re-evaluate Bedard in early January. Due to an upper-body injury, Bedard missed his first game of the season on Saturday against the Detroit Red Wings. The injury had paused Bedard's sensational campaign, in which he has recorded 44 points (19 goals, 25 assists) over 31 games. With Bedard unavailable, Frank Nazar will work as the first-line center, flanked by Tyler Bertuzzi and Andre Burakovsky. Meanwhile, Jason Dickinson has joined the second line.

Connor Bedard Ruled Out for Saturday

Chicago Blackhawks center Connor Bedard (shoulder) will not play on Saturday against the Detroit Red Wings. He appeared to have injured his right shoulder during a faceoff late in Friday's 3-2 loss to the St. Louis Blues. Chicago's young superstar bagged two assists on Friday night to continue his spectacular season. Bedard has tallied 44 points (19 goals, 25 assists) in 31 games, tying him for fourth on the NHL's scoring charts. Given the nature of the injury, Bedard could be facing a longer absence, which would be a massive blow for the Blackhawks' playoff hopes.

Connor Bedard Continues Tear With Hat Trick

Chicago Blackhawks center Connor Bedard led his team to a 5-2 victory over the Calgary Flames on Tuesday, netting his second hat trick of the season. Two of his goals came in the third period after Calgary had tied the game at two. Bedard became the first player this season with multiple hat tricks in the NHL before San Jose's Macklin Celebrini joined him later on Tuesday night. The young Blackhawks star is fourth in the league in scoring, with 29 points (13 goals, 16 assists) across 19 games. Over his last 10 outings, Bedard has averaged over two points per game, notching 10 goals and 11 assists.

Connor Bedard Extends Scoring Streak With Three-Point Effort

Chicago Blackhawks center Connor Bedard notched a goal and an assist as the team picked up a 5-1 road win against the Detroit Red Wings on Sunday. Two points for Bedard, including his goal, came on the power play. He is now one of only two Blackhawks players, alongside Stan Mikita, to post consecutive three-point games twice before turning 21. Bedard heated up late last month, and there appears to be no end in sight for his hot spell. Chicago's ascending star will take an eight-game point streak into Wednesday's tilt against the New Jersey Devils. With 25 points (nine goals, 16 assists) in 16 games, Bedard is tied for second on the NHL's scoring charts.

Connor Bedard Produces First Career Hat Trick

Chicago Blackhawks center Connor Bedard led the charge in Tuesday's 7-3 victory against the Ottawa Senators, scoring his first career hat trick and posting one assist. Chicago's young star recorded his third career four-point game; only Bobby Hull (5) and Denis Savard (4) have managed more with the Blackhawks before age 22. The Blackhawks are suddenly looking like a decent team this season, and it's helped Bedard to be more consistent with his offensive production. Through 10 games, the 20-year-old has notched six goals and 12 points. Compared to his first couple of years in the league, Bedard has improved significantly during even-strength play, as he boasts a plus-four rating and has tallied only three points (two goals, one assist) on the power play.

Connor Bedard Shines With Three Assists

Chicago Blackhawks center Connor Bedard delivered three assists in Wednesday's 8-3 road victory over the St. Louis Blues. The Blackhawks traveled to St. Louis as huge underdogs but came away with two points thanks to Bedard's 10th career three-point effort. Bedard doubled his points tally for the season and now boasts two goals and four assists through five contests. While it's too early to say if Bedard can maintain this scoring pace all season, the Blackhawks look much more competitive this year, and that should help Bedard keep his offensive production high.

Connor Bedard Tallies Goal, Assist On Wednesday

Chicago Blackhawks center Connor Bedard tallied two points during their victory over the Colorado Avalanche on Wednesday evening. Bedard tallied the primary assist on Ilya Mikheyev's eighth goal of the season in the opening frame. Later in the third, Bedard scored on a wrist shot, extending their lead. This performance extended his point streak to eight games. During this impressive stretch, the 19-year-old has tallied 11 points (four goals, seven helpers) with four of those points coming on the power-play. Overall, the former first-overall pick has tallied an impressive 37 points over 41 games this season and is on track to enjoy a strong sophomore campaign. He remains a must-start player in all formats as he looks to extend his scoring streak to nine games on Friday against the Detroit Red Wings.

Connor Bedard Ends Drought With Two Assists

Chicago Blackhawks center Connor Bedard set up Jason Dickinson for a pair of goals in Tuesday's 3-2 loss to Anaheim, ending a three-game point drought. The teenage forward now boasts five multi-point outings this term. However, Bedard's performances have been inconsistent, particularly in November, as he's picked up points in only three of eight games. Bedard has notched 15 points (three goals, 12 assists) in 19 contests for his entire sophomore campaign. Somehow, he's still close to averaging a point per game despite getting on the score sheet in back-to-back outings just once all season.
