It’s the middle of the summer, which means there isn’t a ton of NHL news to sift through, but there is some, and in the case of the Chicago Blackhawks<\/a>, it’s very bad.<\/p>\n

That’s because the team just learned that their franchise centerpiece, Connor Bedard, will be out of action for four months after getting injured while training.<\/p>\n

That means he won’t be back<\/a> in the team’s lineup until November.<\/p>\n

NHL TEAM’S ROUGH OFFSEASON GETS WORSE AS FRANCHISE LEGEND LEAVES TO COACH FOR ARCH-RIVAL<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Bedard was training in Vancouver last week when video started making the rounds showing him falling during a drill and leaving the ice in some clear discomfort.<\/p>\n

Well, that discomfort was real, and on Wednesday the Blackhawks announced that the former first-overall pick had undergone surgery<\/a> on his left shoulder and is expected to make a full recovery.<\/p>\n

The only problem is that it will force him to miss some action early in the upcoming season.<\/p>\n

Now, the Blackhawks will be happy to have him back a month or so into the season as opposed to having him miss four months of the regular season, but that is going to make Chicago’s start to the season critical.<\/p>\n

They play in a tough Central Division, and they have to keep pace with the likely playoff teams in it \u2014 squads like the Avalanche, Stars<\/a>, Wild, Mammoth and maybe Jets \u2014 so that they don’t have to dig out of a hole when Bedard returns to action.<\/p>\n

Bedard is no stranger to injuries. He battled an injury to his right shoulder last season, and in his rookie campaign back in 2024-25, he suffered a broken jaw.<\/p>\n

When he’s healthy, he has averaged a little under a point per game pave, which is something the Blackhawks will need as they continue to work their way back to being perennial playoff contenders.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
