Connor Bedard - Page 2 - NHL News & Rumors

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.

Impact 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.

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.

Impact 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.

Set to play Tuesday Bedard (shoulder) is expected to be in the lineup against the Penguins on Tuesday, Charlie Roumeliotis of WGN Radio reports.

Impact 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.

Could return Tuesday Bedard (shoulder) might be available for Tuesday's tilt versus the Penguins, Ben Pope of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Impact 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.

Skating with teammates Bedard (shoulder) was on the ice for Monday's practice session, Scott Powers of The Athletic reports.

Impact 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.
