Jerez Preview: Can Anyone Stop the #72?

Coach Luke Richardson stated that Connor isn't allowed to take slapshots while skating and about how Bedard had been begging to get back on the ice - he'd been given specific instructions.

Connor Bedard out during and after practice on Sunday, January 21st.
