Blackhawks’ Connor Bedard ‘trending’ toward season debut vs. Penguins

The Chicago Blackhawks have not had Connor Bedard in the lineup all season. He suffered a shoulder injury in the offseason that has kept him out of the lineup to this point. The new Blackhawks captain was expected to miss about a month of the season. However, this may not be the case. Blackhawks head coach Jeff Blashill spoke to the media on Monday. He was asked about Bedard’s availability for Tuesday’s game against the Pittsburgh Penguins. If everything goes well, Chicago’s captain should take the ice against Sidney Crosby and his teammates.
