Connor Bedard recently suffered a right shoulder injury and is expected to miss significant time. Reports indicate he will be out for multiple months.
What happened
In the final second of a 3–2 Chicago Blackhawks loss to the St. Louis Blues, Bedard took a faceoff against Brayden Schenn and was knocked down immediately after the puck drop. He fell awkwardly, clutched his right shoulder, and left the ice in visible pain, heading straight to the locker room.
Injury details and timeline
Team and league reports describe it as an apparent right shoulder injury, with initial confirmation that he would miss at least the next game against the Detroit Red Wings. Subsequent updates from news and social posts state that he has a dislocated shoulder and is expected to be out roughly three to four months, though the team has not yet released a full, detailed timetable.
