Blackhawks forward Boris Katchouk clears waivers originally appeared on NBC Sports Chicago
Chicago Blackhawks forward Boris Katchouk has cleared waivers, according to the NHL’s transaction wire.
Katchouk, 25, was a healthy scratch in all four games of the recent homestand. His last game was on Dec. 3, which came in a 4-1 loss to Minnesota.
Katchouk has four points (two goals, two assists) in 17 games with the Blackhawks this season. He’s averaging 12:08 of ice time and has struggled to find a consistent place in the team’s lineup.
The Blackhawks are now expected to send Katchouk to the Rockford IceHogs of the American Hockey League, where he can get more consistent playing time.
