The Blackhawks lose two straight and now face more trouble as Connor Bedard misses time with a shoulder injury.

Connor Bedard’s stellar start to the season is on hold. But for how long is the question. The Chicago Blackhawks center will miss at least Saturday’s game against the Detroit Red Wings at the United Center after suffering a right shoulder injury a night earlier.

Blackhawks coach Jeff Blashill said Bedard would not play in Chicago's game Saturday against the Detroit Red Wings, and described the injury as a "freak accident," according to the Chicago Sun-Times. The coach also indicated the team would have a further update on Monday.

Saturday night’s game against the Detroit Red Wings wasn’t pretty for the Chicago Blackhawks without Connor Bedard. Bedard might be out for a significant amount of time.
