The Blackhawks recalled their top defenseman prospect Adam Boqvist from the Rockford IceHogs in the AHL on Thursday. Chicago did not announce a corresponding move since they have 22 players on their roster with Connor Murphy (groin) on long-term injured reserve until at least Nov. 16.
Boqvist, the eighth overall pick in the 2018 NHL draft, scored his first professional goal in his sixth game of the season during Rockford’s 6-2 home win over San Antonio on Wednesday night. The 19-year-old’s goal snapped the IceHogs’ 0-for-29 start to the season on the man advantage.
