The Chicago Blackhawks think Jason Dickinson and Joey Anderson can help get Connor Bedard’s offense on track, and Anderson breaks down how.

After being moved from center to wing, Bedard assisted on both of Jason Dickinson's goals. But the Hawks yielded two goals in the third period in a 3-2 defeat.

CHICAGO — When it comes to his scoring slump, Connor Bedard is all about location. As in the areas of the ice where the young forward can deliver for the Chicago Blackhawks.

Connor Bedard’s goal drought stretched to nine games — and the Chicago Blackhawks offense as a whole hasn’t been much better.

In his Vancouver homecoming Saturday, Bedard's goal drought extended to nine consecutive games. His most memorable play was a whiff at the red line that led to a Canucks empty-net goal, sealing the Hawks' eventual 4-1 loss.

The Blackhawks' top offensive players have all struggled to help Chicago get goals this season and it is a problem.

Bedard's recent scoring drought has been notable, with only one multi-point game since Oct. 17 when he assisted two goals against the NHL bottom-dweller San Jose Sharks. Bedard assisted on three goals in a win against Anaheim on Nov. 3, but he's only scored one point (an assist) in three subsequent games.
