A bit about Wings prospect Jan Bednar’s playing situation

According to Hokej.cz’s Josef Prasek, Red Wings prospect goaltender Jan Bednar’s playing situation remains somewhat fluid this morning.

Bednar is currently playing for HC Energie Karlovy Vary in the Czech Extraliga, where he won a 2-1 decision over HC Olomouc yesterday via a 26-save performance, but Bednar is also supposed to be playing for the QMJHL’s Acadie-Bathurst Titan, and Bednar tells Prasek that he’s not sure when he’ll be leaving for Canada.

The QMJHL has had to pause divisionally at times due to coronavirus issues and restrictions in the province of Quebec, so it remains to be seen whether or if Bednar will be able to head over to Quebec at all.

Update: According to Czech Prospects on Twitter, Bednar will be heading to Edmonton first, to play in the World Junior Championship for the Czech Republic:
