The Blackhawks activated forward Marcus Kruger (left leg) from injured reserve and placed defenseman Brandon Davidson (right leg) on IR retroactively to Nov. 13 on Friday morning.
Kruger missed three games after he was tripped by Carolina’s Clark Bishop late in the second period of the Blackhawks’ 4-3 loss to the Hurricanes on Nov. 8 at the United Center. Kruger skated off under his own power, but did not return. He has two goals in 16 games this season.
Davidson did not play in Chicago’s 1-0 win over the Blues on Wednesday after injuring his right leg during Monday’s game in Carolina.
