Rehab Progress
Connor Bedard has begun practicing with the team again after recovering from surgery on June 24. The center is working through a follow-up medical appointment that will determine whether he can suit up for any of the three upcoming home contests. The Blackhawks have managed without their captain during a 1-5-0 start to the season.
Upcoming Homestand
Chicago hosts Pittsburgh on Tuesday, Winnipeg on Thursday and Dallas on Saturday. Bedard, who led the club with 45 assists and 75 points last season, is described as feeling confident in his condition and is pleased to be skating alongside teammates once more after a period of solo work.
Contract and Role
The No. 1 pick from the 2023 draft signed a five-year, $75 million agreement in July. He was named the second-youngest captain in Original Six franchise history on Sept.
