Spencer Abbott has been one of the Rockford IceHogs’ top scorers this season. Now the Blackhawks will see if he can help boost their production.
Abbott was recalled from the IceHogs on Tuesday night. The 28-year-old has 21 points (eight goals, 13 assists) in 30 games with the IceHogs this season. Abbott was also on a four-game point streak in Rockford (two goals, four assists).
The move comes as the Blackhawks are struggling to find consistency, with offense and with their overall game. Abbott had a good camp with the Blackhawks. Assuming he plays on Thursday against the Buffalo Sabres, Abbott will play in just his second career NHL game.
