In the last few hours, the head coach of the Chicago Blackhawks, Luke Richardson, has announced some very bad news to the team's fans. Indeed, Connor Bedard's line-mate, Taylor Hall, will have to miss several weeks of action due to an upper body injury sustained in last night's game against the Boston Bruins.
This is sad news for the first overall pick in the last draft, who seemed to have developed great chemistry with the former Boston Bruins forward. It will be particularly interesting to see who Connor Bedard will be paired with in the upcoming games, especially since the Blackhawks lineup isn't overflowing with top-tier forwards.
Fortunately, the young sensation came out unscathed from a heavy collision late in the third period. Indeed, with just five minutes left in the game, Connor Bedard crashed violently into the boards and looked to be in a lot of pain. However, he managed to finish the match.
