CHICAGO -- Kevin Korchinski has rejoined the Chicago Blackhawks following the death of his father, Larry.

The 19-year-old Korchinski was on the ice for Chicago's morning skate ahead of Tuesday night's game against the Colorado Avalanche. Coach Luke Richardson said the rookie defenseman is going to need some time before he is ready for games again.

"It was great to see him," Richardson said. "The guys really responded well having him back in the dressing room and he had a big smile in there this morning. So it was good to see him out on the ice.
