#Blackhawks reassign defenseman Ian Mitchell to AHL’s Rockford IceHogs.
— Charlie Roumeliotis (@CRoumeliotis) November 24, 2022 Mitchell, 23, made his season debut two weeks ago with the IceHogs after missing the first several weeks of the season with a wrist injury sustained in September. After lighting up the AHL in a three-game stint, he was recalled to Chicago last Friday. In two games, Mitchell did not register a point or a shot on goal while averaging 14:56 of ice time.
