In a recent shift, the Chicago Blackhawks have made changes to their roster, according to updates from the AHL's Transactions Log. The team has called up defenseman Isaak Phillips from AHL Rockford, simultaneously placing Jarred Tinordi on injured reserve with the move retroactive to November 9th.
Phillips, who has been navigating between the Blackhawks and IceHogs this season, spent a brief stint with the main team in late October before being sent down last week. While making one appearance with Chicago, he has been actively contributing to the Rockford lineup, amassing three points in eight games. The 22-year-old defenseman, currently in his fourth professional season, is approaching the final stretch of his entry-level contract.
On the flip side, Tinordi's absence is attributed to an oblique injury that forced him to exit Thursday's game during the first period, with no return afterward. The team has not provided detailed updates on his condition, but the decision to place him on injured reserve suggests a minimum one-week recovery period. Tinordi, at 31, has played in nine games this season, showcasing his defensive prowess with an assist, 19 blocks, and 23 hits while maintaining an average of 14 minutes and 46 seconds per night on the ice.
