Tinordi, known for his physical style of play, last played on February 7th against the Minnesota Wild. He's contributed six assists in 30 games this season.
Luckily, Tinordi's injury doesn't seem too serious as he joined Tuesday's morning skate. With his IR status retroactive, there's a chance he could return as soon as Thursday when the Blackhawks face the Penguins.
In the meantime, the Blackhawks will rely on Louis Crevier and Isaak Phillips as the third defensive pair.
The game against Vancouver starts at 7:30 PM CT and will be aired on NBC Sports Chicago.
