"Blackhawks' Connor Bedard Sidelined by Injury After Rough Game Against Devils"
Chicago Blackhawks rookie Connor Bedard suffered an injury after a controversial hit by New Jersey Devils' Brendan Smith during a 4-2 loss. The incident sparked a series of on-ice skirmishes, with Blackhawks' Nick Foligno also leaving the game due to an injury after engaging in fights. Coach Luke Richardson did not label the hit on Bedard as dirty, suggesting it was part of a hard-played game. The Blackhawks, already dealing with multiple player injuries, now face the challenge of continuing without Bedard, who has been a significant contributor to the team's offense.
