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