Blackhawks’ Connor Bedard Placed On Injured Reserve Due to Broken Jaw

Chicago Blackhawks phenom Connor Bedard has been placed on injured reserve after suffering a fractured jaw Friday night, the club announced Saturday.

Bedard left the Blackhawks’ 4–2 road loss after being hit by Devils defenseman Brendan Smith in the first period. As Bedard crossed the blue line into the offensive zone, Smith delivered a hit that struck Chicago’s young star in the head area.

The 18-year-old rookie, who became the youngest player in NHL history to be named to the All-Star Game on Thursday, has been a bright spot in Chicago’s disappointing season.
