Chicago Blackhawks Connor Murphy's seasons fate decided
The Chicago Blackhawks have made room for the return of Connor Murphy by assigning defenseman Wyatt Kaiser to AHL Rockford. T
his move signals Murphy's imminent return from injury, potentially ahead of Wednesday's game against the Blues.
Murphy, who has been sidelined with osteitis pubis for the past two and a half months, aims to bolster the Blackhawks' defensive lineup for the remainder of the season.
This is the best-case-scenario news for Murphy and the Hawks as many expected him to be out for the remainder of the season, now the 31-year old veteran can step into actual games before heading into the off-season.
