Blackhawks defenseman Michal Rozsival is still dealing the effects of a sucker punch from Ducks forward Nick Ritchie that occurred in April, his agent Ritch Winter told The Athletic’s Scott Powers on Wednesday.
“He’s not 100 percent healthy, which is a challenge because he’s got symptoms he’s managing as result of the knockout punch that was delivered to him unexpectedly,” Winter said as part of a larger interview.
Rozsival needed surgery in the spring to repair facial fractures after Ritchie punched him in retaliation for a hit on Ducks winger Corey Perry.
