The Chicago Blackhawks have recalled Viktor Svedberg and reassigned Ville Pokka to the Rockford IceHogs of the American Hockey League, the team announced Thursday.
Svedberg, 24, re-signed with the Blackhawks in August on a one-year contract. Last season, the 24-year-old dealt with an early-season injury and was given the opportunity to produce with the IceHogs as the season progressed with Chicago trading Adam Clendening, T.J. Brennan and Klas Dahlbeck.
Svedberg had three goals and 11 assists in 49 regular-season AHL games.
