In a corresponding move, the Blackhawks have called up Filip Roos from AHL Rockford. As of now, there is no timetable for how long Nikita Zaitsev will be away from the team.
Zaitsev played 5 games this season in which he averaged 10 to 15 minutes a night. With the Tinordi injury, the Blackhawks defense could look significantly different from opening night. It seems as though Filip Roos will get an opportunity to get in the lineup at some point.
