The worst is confirmed for Connor Bedard following a broken bone

Each player has broken a bone.

Bedard, suffered a broken jaw, and Foligno, dealing with a fractured left finger, join a growing list of Blackhawks players sidelined due to injuries.

The injuries occurred during a recent matchup against the New Jersey Devils, with Bedard taking a hit up high from defenseman Brendan Smith.

Most players who suffer a broken jaw are out for two months, sometimes more or less.

The incident has not only impacted the immediate playing roster but has also fueled anticipation for a potential rematch between the Blackhawks and the Devils, as the Chicago team looks to address the situation and seek retribution.

With nine players now on injured reserve, the Blackhawks face a challenging period ahead as they navigate through the impact of these injuries.

Fans are eagerly awaiting updates on Bedard and Foligno's recovery timelines and are bracing for adjustments to the team's lineup in the upcoming games.
