Blackhawks veteran defenseman Michal Rozsival played a reserve role in 16th NHL season
Chicago Blackhawks blueliner Michal Rozsival’s 2016-17 season ended on April 6 with a bare-knuckled sucker punch from Anaheim’s Nick Ritchie that required surgery to repair his fractured face. The 16-year NHL veteran had skated in 22 games last season and also signed a one-year contract extension in late February to keep him with the ‘Hawks thru next season.
While the Blackhawks have stirred up plenty of excitement over the past 72 hours with intriguing picks at the 2017 Entry Draft and monster trades with Columbus and Arizona, we’re also evaluating the performance of each of the players last season.
