Blackhawks re-assign Dennis Gilbert, Brandon Hagel to AHL

The Blackhawks re-assigned defenseman Dennis Gilbert and forward Brandon Hagel to the Rockford IceHogs in the AHL on Sunday night after a 5-2 victory over the Jets at United Center.

Gilbert was a healthy scratch for six straight games after playing 20 games with the Blackhawks this season. The 23-year old has three points (one goal, two assists) and 72 hits, but has struggled in possession metrics with a 42.6-percent Corsi-For and a 40.4-percent expected goals for.

The Blackhawks called Hagel on Jan. 16, but he did not play a game.
