Two Wins Tucked Away: Mercer Powers Devils to Victory Ahead of Home Opener

Connor Bedard Expected to Return Next Week for the Chicago Blackhawks

 





   Connor Bedard hasn't played since January 5th against the New Jersey Devils due to a broken jaw. Bedard was put onto a 6-8 week timeline after he had his surgery on the 8th of January. On Monday, February 12th, Connor hit the 5-week mark of his timeline and it's beginning to look like the Chicago Blackhawks rookie will return next week.



   After practice on Monday, Luke Richardson said how Bedard will be remaining in the non-contact jersey for the rest of this week but the hope is that he'll be cleared for contact next week. It shouldn't be long after that, that he returns to game action.


Luke Richardson on Connor Bedard: "He'll need a few practices once he gets released from that, and then he'll be ready to go."
