– Frank Nazar can join Connor Bedard (3 GP in 2023-24) as the second Blackhawks player over the last six years to record a point in each of the team’s first three road games. (DONE)
– Connor Bedard (0-1—1) boosted his career totals to 47-85—132 (155 GP). He moved within five points of Jeremy Roenick (58-79—137 in 177 GP) for the fifth-most points by a Blackhawks player age 20 or younger.
– Frank Nazar has scored 10 regular-season goals for the Blackhawks since the NHL returned from the 4 Nations Face-Off on Feb. 22, 2025. He is one of three Chicago skaters with a double-digit total during that span, alongside Ilya Mikheyev (13) – who also scored tonight – and Ryan Donato (12).
– Alex Vlasic (0-3—3) became the fifth different Blackhawks defenseman in the past 30 years to record three primary assists in a game. He joined Gary Suter (4 on Dec. 29, 1995), Henri Jokiharju (3 on Oct. 7, 2018), Duncan Keith (3 on Dec. 27, 2013 & Nov. 25, 2009) and Matt Walker (3 on Feb. 5, 2009).
– Chicago scored at least seven goals against the Blues for the fourth time in the past 35 years. The others: Nov. 30, 2010, Oct. 26, 1993 and Feb. 20, 1990.
– Connor Bedard (0-2—2) posted his 29th career multi-point game to pass Jonathan Toews (28) and tie Bobby Hull for the fifth most by a Blackhawks skater before age 21. The list is led by Denis Savard (44), Jeremy Roenick (41), Eddie Olczyk (41) and Patrick Kane (39).
– The Blackhawks scored eight goals in a game for the first time since March 8, 2022 (8-3 W vs. ANA).
– Connor Bedard (0-3—3) posted his 10th career three-point game and passed Jonathan Toews (9) for the fifth most by a Blackhawks skater before age 21. He trails Denis Savard (15), Patrick Kane (13), Jeremy Roenick (13) and Bobby Hull (11).
– Connor Bedard (0-3—3) recorded his third career three-assist game. Only three other Blackhawks skaters have as many before age 21: Denis Savard (9), Eddie Olczyk (4) and Stan Mikita (3).
>*If Connor Bedard looks like a different player, it’s because he has been through 5 games.
8th in puck battle wins – was 189th last year.
13th in stick checks, 190th last year.
Puck moving remains elite but also up from last year.*

Obviously it’s very early for stuff like this, especially raw counting stats, but I just wanted to highlight how great the kid has been to start this season. He’s a monster lol
Thanks Blues for your sacrifice
Total bust
He’s going to have that record by the time he’s 22
its obviously early and I’ve never doubted Bedard, but this is the first time he has really felt like a star in a complete way
his all around game looks absolutely amazing this year
