Chicago Blackhawks Recap, News & Tidbits
Chicago Hockey Now: The Blackhawks couldn’t pick up the first win of their long road trip on Monday, and they have now lost six consecutive games in Seattle. Despite outpossessing and outshooting the Kraken, their struggles at Climate Pledge Arena, and against Joey Daccord, continued.
More CHN: With Jason Dickinson landing on injured reserve, GM Kyle Davidson called up top prospect Oliver Moore from the Rockford IceHogs on Monday. Moore tallied nine points (6G, 3A) in his first nine AHL games with the IceHogs and has been one of the best rookies in the league early this season.
More CHN: Davidson made another roster move just a few hours after recalling Moore, as forward Landon Slaggert was assigned to Rockford. The move leaves the Blackhawks with only 12 healthy forwards on their NHL roster, but it was the correct decision, given Slaggert’s situation.
Another game, another goal for Roman Kantserov. The 2023 second-round pick raced through the neutral zone and fired home his KHL-leading 14th goal of the season on Monday. He’s still only 21 years old and is tearing it up in the top professional league in Russia.
