"The Blackhawks announced a few roster moves before hitting the ice for their first full practice coming out of the Olympics on Wednesday. The Blackhawks placed defenseman Wyatt Kaiser on IR (retroactive to Feb. 4) and recalled both Sam Rinzel and Kevin Korchinski from Rockford. It's interesting that Korchinski got the call ahead of Del Mastro given the role Kaiser played on the Blackhawks' penalty kill."

It's interesting that Korchinski got the call ahead of Del Mastro given the role Kaiser played on the Blackhawks' penalty kill. We'll see how things develop between now and the games returning; the Blackhawks may opt to skate seven defenseman? Or... guy(s) will get traded and open up roster spots."
The Chicago Blackhawks placed defenseman Wyatt Kaiser on injured reserve retroactive to Feb. 4 and recalled defensemen Sam Rinzel and Kevin Korchinski from Rockford. Korchinski received the recall ahead of Del Mastro despite Kaiser's role on the team's penalty kill. The club returned to its first full practice after the Olympics and faces roster decisions before games resume. Options include carrying seven defensemen, executing a trade to open roster spots, or adjusting internal personnel. The immediate recalls prioritize Rinzel and Korchinski for NHL availability while the team assesses defensive depth and special-teams needs.
