WGN Radio’s Charlie Roumeliotis and Jack Heinrich break down Connor Bedard’s upper-body injury, which is expected to sideline him for multiple weeks. They react to the freak accident, explain why Brayden Schenn is not at fault, and discuss how Bedard’s absence could impact his chances of making Team Canada’s Olympic roster.

Later, Mike Palm of Circa joins the show to discuss the latest NHL trends and storylines, including the blockbuster Quinn Hughes trade between Minnesota and Vancouver that shook up the Western Conference.

Charlie and Jack close out the show with an update on Laurent Brossoit after he was placed on waivers following his AHL conditioning stint, plus thoughts on Nick Lardis’ NHL debut.
