""He's a guy who's scored a lot of goals throughout his young career, going back to junior," coach Jeff Blashill said, "and he's had a pretty good start to his American league. I know for sure Connor's not playing tonight, so we just felt like it gives us another potential offensive guy that can come in and provide some scoring punch.""
""With 0.8 seconds left in Friday night's 3-2 loss at St. Louis, Bedard attempted to win a draw to give Chicago one last chance, but he was knocked down by Blues center Brayden Schenn. He grasped at his right shoulder and immediately headed to the locker room, accompanied by a trainer. Any significant injury for Bedard would be a major blow for Chicago.""
Nick Lardis, a 20-year-old forward, was recalled from Rockford after scoring 13 goals and 13 assists in 24 AHL games. The recall follows Connor Bedard sustaining a right-shoulder issue after being knocked down in the final seconds of a loss at St. Louis. Bedard leads the team with 19 goals and 25 assists in 31 games and faces uncertainty that could affect his availability and his chances for Canada's 2026 Olympic roster. Coach Jeff Blashill confirmed Bedard will not play the next game and described Lardis as a proven scorer who could add offensive punch. Lardis was a third-round pick in 2023.
