Connor Bedard on verge of return as Blackhawks remain undefeated in 2026

from Blackhawks Breakaway · host Chicago Sports Network

On this episode of the Blackhawks Breakaway Podcast, Pat Boyle and Charlie Roumeliotis discuss the looming return of Connor Bedard, who spoke to the media for the first time about his shoulder injury since Dec. 12. They also react to Bedard being left off Team Canada’s initial 25-man roster for the 2026 Olympics and examine his mature response and mindset. Pat and Charlie also break down the Blackhawks’ 4-0-0 start to 2026, how the team has pulled within three points of a playoff spot, and the impressive play of the special teams. They wrap up the show by previewing Saturday’s Chicago sports frenzy, with the Blackhawks, Bears and Bulls all in action at the same time.
