Once defenseman Michal Rozsival was deemed healthy following his postseason ankle break earlier this year, you knew the Chicago Blackhawks would add him to their roster as soon as they could. That day was apparently today, as Rozsival was activated from long-term injured reserve while youngster Erik Gustafsson is making the trip back to Rockford.
No one has come out and confirmed this, but it would seem likely Rozsival makes his season debut Saturday against the St. Louis Blues. It’s an odd time to activate him, as you know there are plenty of Blues who would love to test how Rozsival’s ankle is holding up.
