Connor Bedard is after one objective in this season.
The Chicago Blackhawks forward insists it is making the playoffs.
He echoed this in a media session on Thursday.
Bedard declared playoffs are the sole goal for the team now.
He also noted Carlsson’s new contract has nothing to do with his own contract talks with Chicago.
The 19-year-old signed a long-term deal with the Blackhawks recently.
