Connor Bedard, the rising star of the NHL, has been named the No. 3 Star of the Month for November, a remarkable achievement that has put the Blackhawks on the map. With a stellar performance, Bedard has not only lifted the team's standing but also set a new standard for young talent in the league. The NHL's recognition of Bedard's talent is a testament to his hard work and dedication, and it's no surprise that he's quickly becoming a fan favorite. But what makes Bedard's success even more impressive is the company he keeps. While Colorado's Nathan MacKinnon and Dallas' Jason Robertson were named the top two stars, Bedard's performance in November was nothing short of exceptional. In just 14 games, he accumulated an impressive 23 points, placing him third in the League. This is a significant feat, considering that only one other Chicago skater, Patrick Kane, has recorded as many points in a single calendar month this century. Bedard's impact on the Blackhawks's performance is evident, as he factored into more than half of the team's 44 November goals, contributing to a 6-5-3 record for the month. His versatility is showcased through his monthly leadership in power-play assists, goals, power-play points, assists, and shots on goal. Bedard's ability to find the scoresheet consistently, including multiple games with at least three points, further solidifies his status as a rising star in the NHL. With a total of 37 points, 16 goals, and 21 assists through 25 total contests in the 2025-26 season, Bedard is not only a leader on the ice but also a player to watch for the future of the league.
