Blackhawks star Connor Bedard hurt in ‘freak accident’ during final seconds in possible injury crusher
NY Post
A faceoff gone wrong with 0.8 seconds left could have potential major ramifications on the first promising Blackhawks season in years.
Chicago’s former No. 1 pick Connor Bedard suffered a right shoulder injury on the final play of Friday’s 3-2 loss to the Blues that already has him ruled out for Saturday’s game against the Red Wings.
Bedard exited the ice while holding his right shoulder in a troubling scene, with Blackhawks coach Jeff Blashill calling it a “freak accident.”
The coach did not say whether he believes this will be a short or lengthier absence, adding that he expects to have more information Monday.
“I’d hate to say that without knowing the information,” Blashill said. “Until we get the information — again, he’s not going to play tomorrow and when I know, I’ll let you know.”
The scary scene unfolded in literally the last second Friday after the referee dropped the puck and Bedard and Blues center Brayden Schenn fought for control.
