Chicago Blackhawks Injury Update
In a recent update from the Chicago Blackhawks, defenseman Louis Crevier and forward Andrew Mangiapane will not participate in Friday’s matchup against the Colorado Avalanche due to injuries sustained during the previous game against Minnesota, which the Blackhawks won 2-1. Head coach Jeff Blashill noted that while he does not anticipate long-term issues for either player, they will both be absent from tonight’s action.
Player Updates
Forward Dominic Toninato was activated for the game after being called up from the minor leagues earlier in the day.
Louis Crevier, selected in the seventh round of the 2020 NHL Draft, has established himself as a reliable player for Chicago in his third season, currently boasting a personal best with five goals and 12 assists over the course of 65 games.
On the other hand, Andrew Mangiapane joined the Blackhawks through a trade with Edmonton on March 4, contributing one goal and one assist in his first seven games with Chicago.
Upcoming Prospects
Additionally, the Blackhawks are awaiting immigration clearance for Sacha Boisvert following the announcement of a three-year contract on Monday. The young forward, who recently turned 20, was picked 18th overall in the 2024 draft. This administrative delay might affect Boisvert’s anticipated debut, with the upcoming road trip consisting of four games potentially being his first opportunity to hit the ice in the NHL.
