Stanley Questionable, Jarry Rumors, Bedard Skips Worlds

Buffalo Sabres defenseman Logan Stanley is questionable for game six due to illness, with Michael Kesselring a potential playoff debut if he can’t go; his activation would shape a third pairing with two right-shot defenders. The Edmonton Oilers are under pressure to upgrade goaltending this offseason, as Tristan Jarry’s $5.375M AAV and a .858 save percentage in 19 games complicate a move or buyout. Meanwhile, Connor Bedard will skip Team Canada’s IIHF World Championships to rehab a shoulder injury, despite a 30-goal, 75-point season this year.

The 2024-25 NHL season has defied expectations in several ways.

Connor Bedard: Olympic Hopeful Despite 4 Nations Omission

Despite being left out of Canada's NHL 4 Nations Face-Off roster, Connor Bedard remains a strong candidate for the 2026 Winter Olympics team. Team Canada GM Don Sweeney emphasized Bedard's potential and the need for him to gain more experience. The 4 Nations roster was built specifically for the tournament, not as a precursor to the Olympic team, allowing for future development of young players like Bedard. Historical precedents exist, such as Sidney Crosby and Steven Stamkos, who were also initially left off Olympic rosters early in their careers.

Blackhawks Triumph Over Panthers Amidst Bedard Role Debate

The Chicago Blackhawks secured a 3-1 victory over the Florida Panthers, marking their third home win of the season. Despite the win, questions arise about Connor Bedard's role, as he failed to register a shot in over 19 minutes of play. Coach Luke Richardson is balancing Bedard's development as a well-rounded player with his offensive potential, using him in a defensive role alongside Jason Dickinson.
