Bedard’s Contract, Robertson’s Payday, and Rinzel Return: Busy Blackhawks Bullets

Blackhawks GM Kyle Davidson spoke on TSN 1050 about Connor Bedard’s new contract and related offer sheets, praised obtaining Bowen Byram, and noted Sam Rinzel’s return to the Da Beauty League; separately, the Dallas Stars signed Jason Robertson to a one-year, $12 million deal (with an extension possible on Jan. 1, 2027). Other notes include the Rockford IceHogs signing Tommy Budnick to an AHL contract, Jonathan Quick’s hire by the Rangers as director of goaltending development, arbitration talks for Jet Greaves with Columbus, and NHL-broadcasts management for four teams this season.

Bedard Shoulder Surgery Prompts Early-Season Hawks Lineup Shuffle

Bedard Shoulder Surgery Prompts Early-Season Hawks Lineup Shuffle

Connor Bedard will miss roughly four months after shoulder surgery, forcing the Blackhawks to open the 2026-27 season with a reworked lineup. Without their presumed top-line center, Chicago could move Anton Frondell up to the first line with Tyler Bertuzzi and a winger such as Frank Nazar or Roman Kantserov, while Teuvo Teräväinen centers a second line with Kantserov or Nazar and Nick Lardis. The rest of the forward group would mix veterans and younger players, and Bedard’s role might shift to wing long term to ease Kantserov’s transition, potentially widening options for trades or roster tweaks until Bedard returns.

Bedard, Knight Propel Blackhawks Past Wild 2-1 in Minnesota

Connor Bedard and Ilya Mikheyev scored for the Blackhawks while Spencer Knight stood tall in goal as Chicago defeated the Minnesota Wild 2-1 in Minnesota, snapping the Wild’s longer point streak against the Hawks. The win featured a strong opening period, a young, physical lineup (including Levshunov and Del Mastro) and a tense late stretch where Chicago killed a 5-on-3 penalty. Kirill Kaprizov was day-to-day for Minnesota, and the Hawks’ win marked their first at Minnesota since 2017, with Bedard delivering a showtime second period and Knight sealing the victory.

Penguins erupt for four-goal second period in 6-2 win over Blackhawks

Pittsburgh erupted for four goals in the second period to erase a 1-1 first and roll to a 6-2 win over Chicago. Anthony Mantha totaled three points, Evgeni Malkin fed Egor Chinakhov for a goal, and rookie Solovyov made a strong Penguins debut as Pittsburgh’s depth continued to shine, aided by a productive fourth line. Chicago’s Bedard scored late, but the Penguins used a dominant middle frame (and a heavy shot count) to build a 5-1 lead before Dewar and a late Bedard tally wrapped it up. Rust’s suspension forced lineup shuffles, with Brazeau moved up and the team keeping pace in the playoff race, next facing the Rangers.
