Connor Bedard is back on the ice for the Chicago Blackhawks after a frustrating injury spell. Many fans hoped he'd be more cautious, but in just his third game back, it seems he's still vulnerable.
During a forecheck, Bedard battled Carolina Hurricanes Sebastian Aho for the puck. Aho delivered a huge reverse hit, catching Bedard off guard.
Fortunately, Bedard seems fine and stayed in the game. However, it's concerning to see him outmatched physically once again.
At 18, Bedard still has room to grow and develop. Until then, he must find ways to better protect himself on the ice.
