Chicago Blackhawks captain Connor Bedard practiced in a regular contact jersey on Sunday, signaling that his return from shoulder surgery is imminent. Head coach Jeff Blashill said Bedard will meet with doctors this week to evaluate his surgically repaired left shoulder and determine his return date. Blashill did not completely rule Bedard out for Tuesday's matchup against the Pittsburgh Penguins.
Bedard practiced as the first-line center alongside Patrick Kane and Roman Kantserov while taking light contact in drills. His upcoming return is expected to boost a struggling Blackhawks team that currently sits at 1-5-0 and holds a 1-for-14 power-play conversion rate.
