The Chicago Blackhawks are making moves in response to the season-ending knee surgery for star forward Taylor Hall.
The team has announced a 4-player transaction, with forwards Cole Guttman and Joey Anderson being recalled from the Rockford IceHogs.
The shuffle also involves placing Andreas Athanasiou on injured reserve, a move retroactive to November 9 due to a groin injury that's expected to sideline him long-term.
The Blackhawks are taking strategic steps to address the absence of key players and bolster their lineup in the wake of Hall's unfortunate injury. The recall of Guttman and Anderson from the AHL's Rockford IceHogs is a clear indication of the team's commitment to adapting and maintaining competitiveness despite the setbacks.
Blackhawks fans will be keeping a close eye on how these adjustments impact the team's dynamics in the coming games.
