With 0.8 seconds left, Bedard attempted to win the draw to give
Chicago one last chance, but he was knocked down by Blues center
Brayden Schenn. He grasped at his right shoulder and immediately
headed to the locker room, accompanied by a trainer, while his
teammates remained on the ice and the bench.
“He won't play tomorrow,” Chicago coach Jeff Blashill said of
the team's game at home against Detroit on Saturday night. “I
won't know more info tomorrow, so don't ask me tomorrow. At some
point through the weekend, I'll know more, so I'd probably have
more info come Monday.”
Asked whether Bedard's injury would only be short-term, Blashill
offered few details.
“I'd hate to say that without knowing the information,” he said.
“Until we get the information, again, he's not going to play
tomorrow.”
Bedard ranked fifth in the NHL in points heading into the game,
and he assisted on both of Chicago's goals in the loss. He now
has 12 goals and 25 assists.
He was pushed into desperation mode when the Blues iced the puck
and a half-second was put back on the clock. Blashill said he'd
have to see the play again, but his initial impression was that
nothing dirty occurred on the play.
“Honestly, I think it's a freak accident," Blashill said, "to be
honest with you.”
