Chicago Blackhawks defenseman Riley Stillman will be out for an extended period of time after suffering an injury to his left knee during Sunday’s game against the Vancouver Canucks.
Wyatt Kalynuk, who’s yet to play with the Blackhawks this season after heading to Rockford following recovery from a training camp injury, has been recalled to replace Stillman.
Stillman was injured when Erik Gustafsson pushed Vancouver’s Tyler Motte onto the back of Stillman’s left leg:
In 12 games this season, Stillman has two assists while averaging 14:11 of ice time — a number that was likely affected by the 2:33 he played on Sunday night while suffering that above injury during the first period.
