Adam Boqvist just returned to the IceHogs’ lineup after missing two games with a facial injury. Now, Boqvist is on his way to Chicago to likely make his NHL debut on Saturday when the Chicago Blackhawks faceoff against Los Angeles.
The Blackhawks will now have eight defensemen on the roster. They do not need to make a corresponding move with the roster currently sitting at 23 skaters, with Connor Murphy currently on LTIR.
However, the addition of Boqvist, coupled with the Blackhawks’ early struggles, has made many wonder if there are changes on the horizon for this roster.
