The Chicago Blackhawks will be back on the practice ice today, and they will be short two players who left on the recent road trip. We will keep updated from the Fifth Third Arena as the Blackhawks prepare for their game against the New York Rangers tomorrow night.

Blackhawks Chirps

  • Yesterday afternoon, the Blackhawks reassigned forward Landon Slaggert and defenseman Sam Rinzel to the Rockford IceHogs. The Slaggert move was almost expected at this point. Rinzel being sent down isn’t a surprise either. His playing time has been decreasing over the past few games, so sending him to Rockford will do him some good.
