Blackhawks star Connor Bedard to miss start of the season after shoulder surgery

Blackhawks star Connor Bedard will start the season on the bench following shoulder surgery, which is expected to sideline him for about four months. With the NHL yet to announce its regular-season schedule, Bedard's absence could significantly impact the team's performance as they look to build on last season's efforts. This surgery is a major setback but also provides hope for a full recovery, keeping fans and teammates hopeful for his return down the line.
