Following Brendan Smith's hit on Connor Bedard, the rookie sensation recently suffered a fractured jaw and the initial excitement for Bedard's first All-Star appearance dimmed after the incident. This unfortunate development has led the team to reconsider its representation at the All-Star Game.
Connor Bedard's Replacement To The NHL All-Star Game Revealed
It looks like Jason Dickinson is the next candidate to step in and replace the Connor Bedard at the All-Star Game. He currently leads the team in goal scoring behind Connor Bedard and is 3rd in points.
In 39 games this season, Dickinson has undergone a career revival, similar to Max Domi and Andreas Athanasiou, who have thrived under coach Luke Richardson's style. Dickinson has contributed significantly with 13 goals and 6 assists, totaling 19 points.
After achieving his first 30-point season with the team in 2022-2023, Dickinson is determined to maintain or surpass that success this year. An All-Star game nod will mark a significant milestone in his career.
