The Blackhawks made a couple of roster moves ahead of practice on Wednesday, recalling defensemen Madison Bowey and assigning defensemen Wyatt Kalynuk and winger Michal Teply to the AHL’s Rockford IceHogs. With the IceHogs season starting on Friday, this will allow the two rookies an opportunity to play regularly.
The newly signed Bowey was assigned to the Blackhawks taxi squad. It’s uncertain if he’ll draw into the lineup anytime sooner — if at all — but it would be surprising since Bowey is only one game away from meeting the games-played requirement for the Seattle expansion.
