Unfortunately things have gotten worse for the team as Blackhawks General Manager Luke Richardson has revealed that forward Andreas Athanasiou won't play Tuesday due to a family funeral.
The 28 year-old joined the Blackhawks this season after previous stops in Los Angeles, Edmonton, and of course Detroit where Athanasiou was drafted back in in the in the 4th round with the110th overall back in the 2012. Athanasiou has 6 goals, and 3 assists in 26 games this season, and has been a key standout player on the Blackhawks top line with Kane and Domi when they are together.
On behalf of everyone here in Hawks Insider we give our sincerest condolences to the entire Athanasiou family.
