Connor Bedard gets smothered at practice by Nick Foligno

During a recent Blackhawks practice session, Nick Foligno was spotted giving Connor Bedard a gentle shove against the boards, catching the attention of a Blackhawks reporter.

This unfolded during Bedard's first practice back after recovering from a broken jaw, he is not cleared for contact yet (as seen by his green non-contact jersey).

Foligno's fun antics really show how much of a leader and father-figure he is to this young, rebuilding Blackhawks team.
