BREAKING: Connor Bedard has just undergone major surgery and it's worse than expected
In the last few seconds, we have received more precise information about the duration of young Connor Bedard's absence, and it's worse than expected.
His absence will ultimately be measured in months.
Bedard has just undergone surgery and will miss one and a half to two months of activity, which is obviously bad news.
"Hearing Connor Bedard underwent surgery on Monday to repair his fractured jaw.
Bedard is expected to miss approximately 6-8 weeks, meaning #Blackhawks will unfortunately need an injury replacement at #NHLAllStar." - Frank Seravalli
The season of the young phenomenon is not over, but let's just say he doesn't have many games left to play.
More details to follow.
Bedard, 18 years old, has accumulated 33 points, including 15 goals, in 39 games this season in his rookie year in Chicago.
