When it comes to his scoring slump, Connor Bedard is all about location. As in the areas of the ice where the young forward can deliver for the Chicago Blackhawks.
“I think I got to find good spots for myself, try to get the puck in good areas,” Bedard said. “I think that’s something that’s been tough for me right now, getting the puck in a spot that makes it easy to make a play. So I kind of can’t handcuff myself.”
There is nothing more important for Chicago than Bedard's continued development, so Blackhawks coach Luke Richardson is doing what he can to help — while expressing confidence that the dam is going to break very soon.on the team's top line. The coach has tried several different combinations in an effort to find some offense for a team that has seven regulation goals in its last six games.
“I thought Connor and Dickinson found each other really nice, and Joey always does some great responsibility work with whoever he plays with,” Richardson said, “so it really worked out and it clicked a few times tonight.” The Blackhawks upgraded their roster over the summer, giving Bedard an increased chance for more production in his second year. But it hasn't worked out that way so far.
