Connor Bedard, a rookie forward for the Chicago Blackhawks, was seen practicing and skating before and after the team's practice session. It was noted that he appeared to be making progress with his wrist shots, although he is not supposed to be taking hard slapshots due to a jaw injury. Luke Richardson, the Blackhawks' coach, mentioned that Bedard could be 'ahead of the curve' once cleared for contact. Additionally, injury updates on other players were also provided.
