The Chicago Blackhawks have announced changes to their roster, bringing forward Boris Katchouk back from the Rockford IceHogs and calling up goalie Mitchell Weeks from the Indy Fuel of the ECHL.
Katchouk, 25, played in 17 games with the Blackhawks this season, contributing four points (2 goals, 2 assists). He also played six games with Rockford, scoring five points (3 goals, 2 assists).
Weeks, 22, had a 5-5-4-0 record, a 3.14 goals-against average, and an .888 save percentage with the Fuel. Weeks may find himself between the pipes in an upcoming Chicago Blackhawks game as Arvid Soderblom's performances as of late have been well-below average.
The IceHogs will be facing the Milwaukee Admirals tonight at UW-Milwaukee Panther Arena, starting at 6 p.m, where Weeks will be suiting up in preparation for his NHL recall.
