The New Jersey Devils ultimately prevailed in the shootout, defeating the Pittsburgh Penguins 2-1 to secure their second consecutive victory and extend their perfect season-opening home winning streak to seven games. The Devils' win was anchored by netminder Jake Allen, who stopped a stunning 33 of 34 shots through regulation and overtime. Across the ice, the resilient Penguins earned a crucial point, thanks to rookie Arturs Silovs—who turned away 23 of 24 shots while holding the Devils' potent offense in check, an impressive feat for an injury-riddled squad missing six key players.

Connor Bedard will not be attending the Blackhawks' road trip before NHL All-Star break

 





 




   On January 5th when Chicago played against the New Jersey Devils at The Rock, Connor Bedard took a hit from Brendan Smith. The game was full of fights and penalties after the rookie left the game with a fractured jaw.


   On January 10th, the Blackhawks posted an update on Bedard about his successful surgery to repair his fractured jaw and the expected amount of time he'd be out of the lineup.

 



   A week after Bedard's surgery, he went back on the ice to practice, wearing a face shield. Coach Luke Richardson stated that Connor isn't allowed to take slapshots while skating and about how Bedard had been begging to get back on the ice - he'd been given specific instructions. However, there is no change in Connor Bedard's timeline... still 6-8 weeks.
