The Blackhawks made their final wave of cuts after Saturday's preseason finale, assigning forward Dylan Sikura and goaltender Collin Delia to the Rockford IceHogs of the American Hockey League.
This puts the roster at 25 players: 13 forwards, nine defensemen and three goaltenders. The Blackhawks have until Tuesday, Oct. 2 by 4 p.m. CT to get to 23 or under, but are expected to place Gustav Forsling, Connor Murphy and Corey Crawford on injured reserve to accomplish that.
Sikura, who's still considered to be a prospect, played in five games with the Blackhawks last season straight out of college and flashed his potential by registering three assists.
