Connor Bedard is one of the best players in the world right now, particularly for his age. So the fact that he has struggled so much for Canada during their World Championship tournament has been a shock. In Canada's most recent game against Czechia Connor Bedard played just 10 shifts and a bit over 8 minutes.
As of now, any official injury has not been confirmed by either Hockey Canada or the Chicago Blackhawks. The Canadians now move into the knockout round of the tournament. Connor Bedard's status for their next game and ice time will be key to determining if there is an injury at play.
