Health Concerns Raise For This Chicago Blackhawk
Alex Stalock, the goalie for the Chicago Blackhawks, is recovering from a concussion, according to NBC Sports. According to Chicago's Charlie Roumeliotis, the goalie was present�for the morning skate on Sunday.��
Stalock has been in the concussion protocol after sustaining an injury against the New York Islanders on November 1 after taking a serious blow to the head on a worrisome play.
This is the first time Stalock has taken the ice since 26 days ago, and the Blackhawks are taking it ''slow'', we are in hopes the 35-year old goalie who nearly retired a year ago recovers greatly, and puts his health over hockey.
Arvid Soderblom will presumably be sent back to the minors as a result, although he has outperformed veteran Petr Mrazek (1-4-1, .885 save percentage). Although unlikely, the Blackhawks could decide to release Mrazek once Stalock returns.
