Connor Bedard suffered an upper-body injury against the Blues in a face-off against Brayden Schenn, and he's expected to miss time and get re-evaluated in January.
It seemed like an innocuous play, but Bedard left the ice clearly in pain.
With Team Canada expected to announce their Olympic team on New Year's Eve, it certainly puts Bedard's prospects in doubt. He's been excellent this season but there are too many qualified players for too few spots, especially given their successful showing at the 4 Nations Face-Off.
Do you think Bedard should still be named to Team Canada despite his injury?
