Uneasy update on Connor Bedard's broken jaw

Chicago Blackhawks fans should be patient with rookie All-Star Connor Bedard's return.

He has been out for a month, and while his initial recovery time was set to be six to eight weeks, it seems like he may not be ready to return to the ice just yet.


Head coach Luke Richardson has stated that Bedard's return may take longer than expected, so fans should not expect him to be back just yet.



In Bedard's absence, the team has been struggling, going 3-9 and experiencing a record 20-game losing streak on the road, followed by another 5-game losing streak more recently.

During this 12-game stretch, the team has only scored 16 goals, and they have suffered three shutouts.

The Blackhawks are currently in last place in the Central Division, with a record of 14-35-2.
