   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.

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.

Connor Bedard out during and after practice on Sunday, January 21st.
