The Blackhawks assigned defenseman Gustav Forsling to the AHL on Monday. The 22-year-old is working his way back from surgery on his right wrist in July, with an expected return of Oct. 30.
Forsling returned to team practices for the first time Oct. 10. Blackhawks team physician Dr. Michael Terry gave the Swedish blueliner a 14-week timetable in July for his return to be on Halloween at Vancouver, who traded him to Chicago in January 2015 for Adam Clendening.
Forsling has bounced between the NHL and AHL the past two seasons.
