Ahead of preseason game number two, the Chicago Blackhawks made some training camp roster decisions.
On Monday, the Chicago Blackhawks made some decisions on roster cuts during training camp. 9 of their players have been sent to the Rockford IceHogs to begin AHL camp.
The following players were loaned to the IceHogs:
- F Gavin Hayes
- F Paul Ludwinski
- F Samuel Savoie
- D Ashton Cumby
- D Jake Furlong
- D Taige Harding
- G Stanislav Berezhnoy
- G Adam Gajan
There is also defenseman Cavan Fitzgerald, who was released from his NHL PTO so he can be sent to Rockford as well. All 9 of these guys are going to be regulars in the IceHogs lineup as they look to further their pro careers. On paper, it is shaping up to be a playoff-caliber AHL squad.
Chicago’s camp roster is now down to 38 players. That includes 24 forwards, 11 defensemen, and 3 goalies. The Hawks will use an all-NHL lineup against the Minnesota Wild on Monday night, but they have options for the final two preseason games - a home-and-home series with the St. Louis Blues.
