It's another Mailbag Monday on Locked On Blackhawks, where host Jack Bushman answers a question from a few lucky listeners LIVE on the show! But first, Chicago Blackhawks' head coach Luke Richardson had some positive news to share following Monday's practice, as 2023 No. 1 overall pick and Calder Trophy favorite Connor Bedard is expected to return to practice next week. Bedard has been out for nearly six weeks with a fractured jaw, suffered on a hit from New Jersey Devils' defenseman Brendan Smith back on January 5th. Bushman looks back on his prediction as to Bedard's return and breaks down the Blackhawks hard-fought 4-3 OT loss to the New York Rangers over the weekend. All that and more on Locked On Blackhawks.
