Halloween Skate Events Planned Across Communities

The hockey roundup highlights Connor Bedard’s imminent return as a potential boost for Chicago, while Patrick Kane is still looking for a stronger start in his return to the Blackhawks. Winnipeg is monitoring goalie Connor Hellebuyck’s situation, with multiple teams reportedly interested and a possible return to play this week. Injuries are affecting several teams: Carolina’s Taylor Hall is week to week, and Dallas’ Matt Duchene is expected to miss three months after surgery. The roundup also notes Dallas’ plans to begin contract discussions with Jason Robertson in December and other developments across the NHL and women’s hockey. Separately, Minnesota Wild season-ticket members are invited to Rinkside Rally for practice access, player autographs and interactive activities.
