Blackhawks' Connor Bedard: Gets team's only goal
Bedard netted a goal Thursday in a 4-1 loss to Detroit.
Bedard deflected a point shot that hit John Gibson in the pads, and then he knocked the rebound in five-hole. The young superstar is on a modest four-game, four-point (two goals, two assists) streak. Bedard can't carry this team alone, though -- the Blackhawks sit second-last in the NHL with a 4-9-0 record in 13 games.

Blackhawks' Connor Bedard: Slides helper at man advantage
Bedard distributed a power-play assist and put three shots on net in Tuesday's 2-1 win over Los Angeles.
Bedard dangled around the right side of the Blackhawks' offensive zone during a second-period power play, where he ultimately set up Roman Kantserov for the game-tying goal. With the crucial helper in Tuesday's comeback effort, the 21-year-old Bedard is up to six points, 14 points and five blocked shots across six appearances this season. Chicago's superstar has been helping another high-caliber scorer emerge on the team's top line, as Kantserov has four goals since Bedard's return. Bedard is on track to contend for another career year in 2026-27, making him an elite fantasy option in all formats for the rest of the campaign.

Blackhawks' Connor Bedard: Nets lone goal in loss
Bedard scored a goal, added two PIM and went minus-2 in Friday's 4-1 loss to the Canadiens.
Bedard has two goals, two assists, nine shots on net and a minus-2 rating over four contests since he returned from shoulder surgery. The 21-year-old center should continue to operate at or above a point-per-game pace as he tries to boost the Blackhawks' offense. While he may still end up with a poor plus-minus rating, Bedard's offense alone is enough to keep him in fantasy lineups.

Blackhawks' Connor Bedard: Two-point effort in overtime win
Bedard scored a power-play goal on three shots and added an assist in Thursday's 4-3 overtime win over the Jets.
Bedard got his first goal of the year and also set up Artyom Levshunov for the game-winning tally. Through two appearances since he returned from shoulder surgery, Bedard has three points, six shots on net and a plus-1 rating. He's also averaged just over 20 minutes of ice time, so it looks like he's unrestricted in usage moving forward.

Blackhawks' Connor Bedard: Slides power-play helper in return
Bedard tallied a power-play assist, posted a plus-1 rating and placed three shots on net in Tuesday's 5-3 win over Pittsburgh.
Bedard wasted no time getting involved offensively upon his return, as he tapped a one-timed pass quickly towards his linemate Roman Kantserov, who unleashed a slapshot that hit twine on a first-period power play. It was an encouraging sign to see the 21-year-old Bedard log 21:06 of ice time Tuesday, as it appears his surgically-repaired shoulder isn't going to limit his playing time. As the team's top-line center at even strength and on the power play, Bedard is poised for another big year in fantasy during the 2026-27 campaign, where he'll look to challenge his career high of 75 points, which he compiled across 69 regular-season games a year ago.

Blackhawks' Connor Bedard: Set to play Tuesday
Bedard (shoulder) is expected to be in the lineup against the Penguins on Tuesday, Charlie Roumeliotis of WGN Radio reports.
Bedard is set to make his season debut nearly a month ahead of schedule from his original return date. With the 21-year-old center back in the lineup, he'll jump back into the top line while linking up with the No. 1 power-play unit. Given his offensive upside, Bedard should still be an elite fantasy option and is capable of generating above a point-per-game pace.

Blackhawks' Connor Bedard: Could return Tuesday
Bedard (shoulder) might be available for Tuesday's tilt versus the Penguins, Ben Pope of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
Bedard will still need to be taken off non-roster injured reserve before he can get back into the lineup. Still, the 21-year-old center has been working on the top line and No. 1 power-play unit at practice. Whenever Bedard does get into the lineup, he should be an elite-level fantasy option who can produce at a point-per-game pace.

Blackhawks' Connor Bedard: Cleared for contact
Bedard (shoulder) participated fully in Sunday's practice, per Charlie Roumeliotis of WGN Radio.
According to Roumeliotis on Sunday, Bedard has a doctor's visit scheduled for this coming week to update the 21-year-old forward's timeline for a potential return. It's unclear if Bedard will be ready to play as early as Tuesday's matchup against Pittsburgh, but he appears to be inching toward his 2026-27 debut. He notched 30 goals and 75 points in 69 regular-season games for the Blackhawks in 2025-26.

Blackhawks' Connor Bedard: Skating with teammates
Bedard (shoulder) was on the ice for Monday's practice session, Scott Powers of The Athletic reports.
Bedard is not expected back in the lineup until November, but his presence at Monday's practice is certainly a step in the right direction. Given the length of his absence at the start of the season, the 21-year-old center is unlikely to reach the 70-point mark this year. Still, once cleared to play, Bedard figures to be a point-per-game player with significant offensive upside.

Blackhawks' Connor Bedard: Return timeline still not set
General manager Kyle Davidson told reporters Tuesday that the Blackhawks don't have a firm timeline for Bedard's return from shoulder surgery, Ben Pope of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
Davidson adds that a timeline may be established at some point in October. Bedard is expected to be out until at least November, based on the initial four-month estimate after he underwent his procedure in July. Fantasy managers with an open injured reserve slot shouldn't hesitate to stash Bedard until he's activated for his season debut.

Blackhawks' Connor Bedard: Starting on injured non-roster list
Bedard (shoulder) will begin the 2026-27 regular season on the injured non-roster list.
Bedard continues to recover from a shoulder procedure he underwent in early July. The expectation for the 21-year-old superstar is for him to rejoin the team sometime in November, barring any setbacks. When he's ready to return, he expected to lead the team offensively after posting 30 goals and 75 points across 69 regular-season games in 2025-26. He holds one of the highest ceilings across the NHL, and while he might not reach the 100-point mark in the upcoming campaign, he could post the necessary pace to reach that number across a full season upon his return. He should be placed on IR in all fantasy leagues that have a spot for it, otherwise he's a worthy bench stash until he's healthy.

Blackhawks' Connor Bedard: Not yet close to joining team for practice
Head coach Jeff Blashill said Wednesday that Bedard (shoulder) isn't yet close to joining the Blackhawks for practice, Scott Powers of The Athletic reports.
Bedard is expected to be sidelined until around November after undergoing shoulder surgery in July. He's been taking part in some activities during training camp, including taking some slap shots on the ice before Wednesday's team session. Once he's healthy, the Blackhawks' new captain will handle a significant role. He recorded 30 goals, 45 assists, 50 PIM, 31 hits and 27 blocked shots while averaging 20:52 of ice time per game in 69 regular-season appearances last year.

Blackhawks' Connor Bedard: Recovery going as planned
Bedard's recovery from shoulder surgery is going as planned, Scott Powers of The Athletic reports Tuesday.
Bedard is expected to be on the ice but limited at this point. It's unclear how much he'll be participating in activities at training camp -- he will be restricted by his ongoing recovery, which is set to have him sidelined into November. At this point, the Blackhawks aren't sure if he is ahead of schedule, so fantasy managers taking Bedard should still expect him to be out for at least a month, if not longer. More information should be available once team activities begin in earnest in the second half of September.
