The Rockford IceHogs, the Blackhawks’ AHL affiliate, re-signed forward Tyler Sikura to a one-year AHL contract Monday.
Sikura scored 19 points (seven goals, 12 assists) in 50 AHL games last season. It was quite a dip in production for Sikura, who tallied 39 points (23 goals, 16 assists) in 74 games during the 2017-18 season as a rookie. He’s the older brother of Dylan Sikura, who is waiver exempt and could start next season with the Blackhawks or IceHogs.
The re-signing of Tyler Sikura gives head coach Derek King, who inked a two-year extension in April, a plethora of options at wing.
