On Friday, the Chicago Blackhawks forward Connor Bedard earned two assists, but it wasn’t enough to earn a win.

(Saturday night update): Bedard’s update is even worse amid MRI results

The Blackhawks fell 3-2 to the St. Louis Blues in front of 18,096 fans at the Enterprise Center.

The defeat wasn’t the only bad news.

A scary moment for the Chicago Blackhawks

Bedard appeared shaken up at the end of the contest. He fell to the ice as time expired in the third period and favored his right shoulder as he got up. He immediately left for the locker room.

Per Ben Pope of the Chicago Sun-Times, Blackhawks head coach Jeff Blashill called the injury a “freak accident.”

“I think it’s a freak accident, to be honest with you,” Blashill said.

Blashill had more bad news to offer on Bedard, confirming the star center would not play on Saturday at home against the Detroit Red Wings. It’s unclear if Bedard will make the three-game road trip in Canada next week to play the Toronto Maple Leafs, Montreal Canadiens, and Ottawa Senators.

Blashill hopes to provide an update by Monday.

Bedard leads the 13-13-6 Blackhawks with 44 points via 19 goals and 25 assists. Chicago is currently one spot away from the final wild card spot before Saturday’s contest at the United Center.
Bedard’s absence will be felt when the Blackhawks play the 17-12-3 Red Wings. Hopefully, he’s back when the team plays in Canada against three teams with better than .500 records.
