Connor Bedard's off-season may have taken a turn.
The Chicago Blackhawks star exited practice on Thursday after falling into the boards.
Bedard was seen taking part in a three-on-three drill when he appeared to lose his balance while making a backhand pass. The 20-year-old appeared to be in pain as he stood up, holding onto his left shoulder as he eventually made his way off the ice.
The Blackhawks have not updated his status at this time.
Bedard is coming off the most productive season of his three years in the NHL, as the former first overall pick in 2023 racked up 75 points (30 goals, 45 assists) through 69 games.
He led Chicago in total points and assists, while ranking second in goals.
