Blackhawks Star Connor Bedard ‘Trending Toward’ Season Debut Tuesday
- Chicago Blackhawks captain Connor Bedard is "trending toward" a season debut Tuesday against the Pittsburgh Penguins, coach Jeff Blashill said Monday.
- Bedard underwent left shoulder surgery in July, forcing a recovery initially projected at four months. The 21-year-old participated in full-contact practice Sunday, putting him ahead of schedule.
- The Blackhawks' power play has converted just once in 14 opportunities this season. Bedard is expected to center Patrick Kane and Roman Kantserov on the top unit.
- Blashill plans to shift Kane to the right side, with Bedard slotting into the left flank on the top power-play unit. This adjustment positions both for one-timer opportunities.
- With a 1-5 record through six games, the Blackhawks need immediate impact from their franchise captain. Bedard's return is expected to inject necessary life into the struggling lineup.
