Jason Dickinson on Chicago's long injury list: "Honestly, it was just shock almost, and disbelief that we can't get through a game, we can't get through a whole road trip. It's crazy." #Blackhawks� Charlie Roumeliotis (@CRoumeliotis) January 6, 2024

He was placed on injured reserve close to 19 hours ago after being hit by Brendan Smith, resulting in a fractured jaw.

The Blackhawks will have to rely upon, Donato, Lukas Reichel, and Philipp Kurashev as the next set of forwards to keep the season moving.

"A couple of us are just sitting there talking about everything. We laugh, like, what else is there to do? It's just comical at this point that bodies just keep dropping for us and we can't catch a break. So like, what else do you do but laugh at it? This is just unbelievable, right?"
