BREAKING: The Chicago Blackhawks have completed a major move involving a defensemen
The Chicago Blackhawks have had to make a personnel move as they have recalled defenseman Louis Crevier from the Rockford Icehogs.
The move was made today because the team had to place defenseman Nikita Zaitsev on the injured reserve.
Zaitsev's right knee was injured, and he had to leave the Blackhawks game early on Tuesday, when they defeated the San Jose Sharks.
