Terrible news was announced in Chicago this morning as Blackhawks star Connor Bedard has suffered a fractured jaw.

Connor Bedard who has been incredible for the Chicago Blackhawks this season after being selected first, overall at the 2023 NHL entry draft has just been selected as the youngest NHL All-Star of all time.

Hopefully this debilitating injury will not keep them out, too long as it would be incredible to watch him attend the all star game.

Bard suffered the injury after being hit by New Jersey Devils defenceman Brendan Smith.
