Overview
- Bedard took part in Tuesday's practice in a non-contact jersey, joining flow drills before leaving the more physical work.
- Coach Jeff Blashill ruled him out for Wednesday against the Blues and labeled his status day-to-day with a possible return Friday or Saturday.
- He resumed shooting last week and showed full power and accuracy, repeatedly catching posts and the crossbar during drills.
- Before the injury on Dec. 12, Bedard had 19 goals and 25 assists in 31 games; Chicago is 4-6-1 since then and has won three straight.
- Forward Frank Nazar skated before practice with a full face shield after a broken jaw, and the team said he is further from game readiness than Bedard.
