Interim head coach Anders Sorensen said he’ll try to fill Dickinson’s skates by “community,” using a “slew of players.” But so far, it’s pretty much been Connor Bedard.

Donato erupted for a career-high four points in the Hawks' 6-2 win Friday, simultaneously raising his trade value and making a stronger case for him to stay in Chicago past this season.

Chicago Blackhawks forward Connor Bedard didn’t hold back his disappointment after learning Taylor Hall had been traded on Friday. The Hawks sent Hall to the Carolina Hurricanes as part of a blockbuster three-team deal in which they only landed a third-round pick in return for Hall. Chicago also retained 50% of Rantanen's salary in the deal.

Connor Bedard scores on the power play for the Blackhawks in the second period.
