Saturday brought bad news for the Chicago Blackhawks’ Seth Jones and Taylor Hall — who both are going on the shelf for different reasons — but it was business as usual for Connor Bedard, with him set to play in his hometown for the first time in his NHL career.

Jones' placement on IR will prevent him from playing in at least the next three games. He has registered two goals, eight assists, 38 shots on net, 34 blocked shots and 22 hits through 17 appearances this season.
