Connor Bedard Skates Before Practice as Shoulder Rehab Continues

Connor Bedard was seen skating before the Blackhawks' Monday practice at Fifth Third Arena as part of his rehab plan for a shoulder injury. He engaged in stick handling and speed skating but did not take any shots. His absence, along with Frank Nazar (broken jaw), has significantly impacted the young Blackhawks' offensive talent. Coach Jeff Blashill confirmed Bedard's on-ice activity is part of his recovery process, while Nazar has been upgraded to eating solid foods.
