Chicago Blackhawks rookie sensation Connor Bedard reportedly could miss up to two months of action after suffering a jaw injury.
According to Frank Seravalli of Daily Faceoff, Bedard underwent surgery to repair his fractured jaw on Monday and is slated to miss between six and eight weeks.
The Blackhawks placed Bedard on injured reserve last week after he left the team's 4-2 loss to the New Jersey Devils on Jan. 5 after taking a hit from Devils defenseman Brendan Smith.
In the wake of Bedard leaving the game, there were several skirmishes and fights the rest of the way, as his Blackhawks teammates sought retribution for Smith's hit.
