Apparently, at least one member of the Chicago Blackhawks needs a little more time to rest before returning from the All-Star break. That would be defenseman Michal Rozsival, who is “nursing a lower-body injury,” according to the Chicago Sun-Times’ Mark Lazerus. As a result, the Blackhawks have recalled Viktor Svedberg from the Rockford IceHogs.
Rozsival last played two Sundays ago against the St. Louis Blues, recording a normal 16:15 of ice time. He and Rob Scuderi had their normal rotation for the following Tuesday’s game at Carolina, so it didn’t appear anything was amiss for Rozsival, who has been surprisingly healthy since his return from a gruesome ankle injury in the 2015 postseason.
