The Blackhawks re-assigned forwards Graham Knott and Nathan Noel to the Indy Fuel in the ECHL on Thursday. Chicago’s AHL affiliate, the Rockford IceHogs, also assigned forwards Liam Coughlin and Mathew Thompson and defenseman Josh McArdle and Dmitry Osipov to Indy.
Knott scored only four goals and 13 points in 56 games for the IceHogs last season. He has 22 points (eight goals, 14 assists) in 126 career AHL games after winning the Memorial Cup in 2017 with the Windsor Spitfires. Chicago selected him 54th overall in the second round with its first pick in the 2015 NHL draft.
