BREAKING: Connor Bedard Faces Massive Setback With His Ongoing Injury
Recent reports confirm that Connor Bedard will be sidelined for an additional six weeks due to his ongoing jaw injury.
Head coach Luke Richardson addressed the situation, saying,
"It was 6-8 weeks at the beginning was what was said, so like I don't know; you're never going to know, but talk to me in a month. He's not going to be back by then. There's no change; it's the same, so I don't know, six weeks from the start or from now, it's still in between the timeline. He [isn't] coming back next week, which would be great, but it's not about him wanting to or not. It's just about the medical side of things, and the doctors will let us know when he's ready to come back." - Luke Richardson
Bedard's potential Calder win is at risk with this extended absence. Wishing him a speedy recovery and a swift return to the game.
