Chicago Blackhawks head coach Luke Richardson recently shared updates on the team's roster and injuries.
Here's a quick rundown:
Seth Jones: Unfortunately, Jones won't be back on the ice before Christmas. His injury took a turn for the worse in the days following the incident on December 10.
Vlasic: On a positive note, Vlasic has been seen skating on his own, showing progress. However, he won't be in the lineup for the upcoming game.
Korchinski: Richardson mentioned that Korchinski had only one skate session in Saskatoon, suggesting he needs a couple more practices to get up to speed.
Joey Anderson: The forward is on injured reserve and will be out for at least seven days.
Athanasiou: Athanasiou is undergoing further checkups for a lingering groin injury. The timeline for his return is yet to be determined.
Cole Guttman: Guttman won't be playing tonight as the coaching staff works on addressing certain defensive aspects in his game.
These updates shed light on the challenges the Blackhawks are facing with key players dealing with injuries, and the coaching staff actively managing the lineup for optimal performance.
