The Chicago Blackhawks recently lost an asset to their team due to unfortunate circumstances and he might be out longer than expected.
Connor Murphy, a defenseman for the Chicago Blackhawks, recently endured a groin injury at the 2025 Winter Classic, causing him to be absent for the past couple weeks.
Due to this injury, Murphy has been put on a day-to-day basis and has not been involved in the Chicago Blackhawks practices or games whatsoever, soon; Murphy will be placed on retroactive injury reserve, dating back to the date of the Winter Classic.
Murphy has been a solid asset to the team. As the Blackhawks continue to improve their lineup, chemistry is once again altered with the injury of the 31-year-old defenseman.
Players like Connor Murphy are crucial for the overall success and development for their young players.
According to Anders Sorensen, we might not see Murphy for a while.
Murphy (groin) will remain unavailable for "a bit," coach Anders Sorensen told Scott Powers of The Athletic on Saturday. He was also placed on injured reserve, per the NHL media site.
Murphy has already missed four straight games due to the injury, and he'll miss a fifth Saturday. Although Murphy can be activated whenever healthy, the Blackhawks probably wouldn't moved him to IR if he was close to returning. He has a goal, 13 points, 38 PIM, 70 hits and 93 blocks in 38 outings in 2024-25. When Murphy is healthy, Louis Crevier might end up in the press box.
