Blackhawks defenseman Adam Boqvist took part in pregame warmups for Friday's game in Detroit against the Red Wings, but went in early.
A few minutes prior to the contest, the Hawks announced the rookie would not play in the game due to a right wrist injury. Chicago was already down a defenseman after Lucas Carlsson took a puck up high in Thursday's 4-3 win against the Edmonton Oilers and was placed in concussion protocol.
Boqvist picked up two assist's in Thursday's game, tying a career-best three-game point streak. He had five assists on the streak.
Defenseman Dennis Gilbert was recalled on an emergency basis from the Rockford IceHogs of the American Hockey League for the game due to Carlsson's injury.
