In breaking news, this NHL insider just revealed some massive news regarding Connor Bedard's return from injury, and it could be sooner than previously expected.
Connor Bedard has been urgently awaiting the greenlight to return to hockey, as made clear in the team's tasking of Nick Foligno to police the young superstar from pushing himself too hard in his return to play. Bedard has been seen on the ice already, however, he is still a long way from his expected return timeline of 6-8 weeks from his jaw surgery.
However, insider Charlie Roumeliotis has just made a shocking prediction that Bedard will return a week early from his original timeline. Roumeliotis has predicted that Bedard will return against the Vancouver Canucks on February 13th.
While Bedard is making some significant progress towards his return, this would mean he would be back a full week ahead of schedule. the Blackhawks are likely in no rush to get Bedard back on the ice since they are falling out of contention for the playoffs and Bedard is their future.
