Coming off of a 5-2 loss to the Florida Panthers on Sunday afternoon, the Blackhawks kicked off their week with a roster move, sending forward Josiah Slavin down to the Rockford IceHogs.
The 23-year-old Slavin has one assist and 12 shots in 14 games played this season.
The Blackhawks are still dealing with a slew of injuries, a list which includes Jonathan Toews and Tyler Johnson, among others, and rookies such as Slavin — along with Lukas Reichel and Alec Regula — have been inserted into the lineup to fill those absences.
