Connor Bedard is after one goal from this season.
The Blackhawks forward says it is reaching the playoffs.
He reiterated this in a media session on Thursday.
Bedard stated playoffs are the sole goal for the team at present.
He also said Carlsson’s new contract has nothing to do with his own contract talks with Chicago.
The 19-year-old inked a multi-year deal with the Blackhawks not long ago.
