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 stated playoffs are the single goal for the team at present.
He also said Carlsson’s new contract has no to do with his own contract talks with Chicago.
The 19-year-old inked a long-term deal with the Blackhawks recently.
