In his debut season, the youngster picked up 61 points (22 goals and 39 assists). This saw him win the Calder Trophy for the 2023-24 season. However, this season he has not been impressed with his performance in one critical area.<\/p>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/firstsportz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Connor-Bedard-2-1200x675.jpg\" sizes=\"auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/firstsportz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Connor-Bedard-2-1200x675.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/firstsportz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Connor-Bedard-2-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/firstsportz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Connor-Bedard-2-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/firstsportz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Connor-Bedard-2-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/firstsportz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Connor-Bedard-2-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/firstsportz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Connor-Bedard-2.jpg 1600w\" alt=\"(Video) Blackhawks' Connor Bedard kicks away opponent's stick in frustration in 3-1 loss against Stars\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" \/><figcaption>Connor Bedard (Image via The Boston Globe)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Through the first month of the season, Bedard has managed to collect 12 points (3 goals and 9 assists). His point production is not what is bugging him. It\u2019s his performance at the face-off dots.<\/p>\n<p>Bedard is unpleased with the way he has performed at the face-offs and how he ends up losing the puck most of the time. Reacting to this, he called his performance this season at face-off dot \u201c<em>average<\/em>\u201c.<\/p>\n<figure>\n<blockquote><p><em>It\u2019s either average or it\u2019s really bad<\/em>. <em>[It\u2019s about] consistency and finding different ways to win them.\u00a0Last year<strong>, <\/strong>I really only did one thing, and you\u2019re not going to win many draws like that.
