The NHL season is heating up as we roll into December, and the action on the ice yesterday was nothing short of spectacular. If you are looking for the absolute latest NHL news, you have come to the right place. From stunning comebacks to unfortunate injury updates, Sunday’s slate of games delivered plenty of drama.
Bedard Leading the Charge and Major Injury Updates
The headline story coming out of the weekend is undoubtedly Connor Bedard’s fearless performance. In a thrilling matchup at the United Center, the Chicago Blackhawks rallied from a 3-0 deficit to defeat the Anaheim Ducks 5-3. Bedard was the catalyst, racking up four points (two goals, two assists) and proving once again why he is the face of the franchise. The game was feisty, featuring plenty of physical play between Bedard and Ducks’ forward Mason McTavish, but the young superstar had the last laugh.
In more somber NHL News, the injury bug has bitten some top contenders. The New York Rangers have placed star defenseman Adam Fox on Long Term Injured Reserve (LTIR) following a heavy hit by Tampa Bay’s Brandon Hagel over the weekend. Fox is expected to miss significant time, forcing the Blueshirts to reshuffle their blue line. Additionally, the Dallas Stars are holding their breath after defenseman Lian Bichsel suffered a lower-body injury in their dominant win over Ottawa.
