Unfortunate injury news plagues Blackhawks forward during week one of the NHL season

The Chicago Blackhawks' start to the season hasn't been going too well for now. Although the team offered great competition on the ice in the first two matchups against the Florida Panthers and the Boston Bruins, new head coach Jeff Blashill is yet to get his first win behind the bench.

Last night, the team lost 4-3 against the Bruins but also had to watch an important team member walk down the tunnel with an injury.

Jason Dickinson faced his fair share of injury-related adversity in the past years, notably being limited to 59 games last season.

Here we are, at the second game of the regular calendar, and he's already facing some more challenges.

Indeed, he had to leave the game in the second period, and the Chicago Blackhawks announced a few minutes later that he wouldn't return:

After the game, Jeff Blashill didn't have much information to share about the player's health, saying that he will know more today.

Here's what he said last night:

Dickinson centered the third line with Ilya Mikheyev and Ryan Donato on his wings. It wouldn't be surprising to see Ryan Greene promoted to that spot and another player getting called up to center the fourth line before tomorrow's game against the Montreal Canadiens.

The Blackhawks will do all they can to get their first win of the season in their home opener. But the Habs are poised to offer a great challenge to Chicago, especially following a blowout 5-1 win over the Detroit Red Wings last night.
