The progress within the Chicago Blackhawks organization since Connor Bedard's rookie season last year has been non-existent. As it stands, the Blackhawks are the worst team in the NHL, owning a grand total of 30 points through 41 games,

Despite Bedard’s success as a rookie (he led the team with 61 points in just 68 games played) and this season (37 points, including 11 goals and 26 assists, in 41 games), the Blackhawks' 14–25-2 record through Wednesday's slate has the franchise sitting dead last in the NHL standings.

Connor Bedard had a goal and an assist, and the Chicago Blackhawks beat the Colorado Avalanche 3-1. Frank Nazar and Ilya Mikheyev also scored for Chicago, which had lost six of seven.
