Chicago Blackhawks

Rinzel missed Saturday's game against the Avalanche due to an illness, an ailment that has him as a game-time decision for Sunday against the Mammoth. The 21-year-old has 10 points (two goals, eight assists) in 32 games on the season. He'll likely draw in for Kevin Korchinski, if he plays.

Kaiser suffered a lower-body injury just before the Olympic break, and the Blackhawks announced Tuesday that the 23-year-old won'y be available when the team resumes play in late February. While it's not yet clear when he'll be able to return, he'll be eligible to be activated off injured reserve at any point, while Kevin Korchinski and Sam Rinzel were recalled by Chicago on Wednesday.

Ellis hasn't played since 2021-22 when he logged four games for the Flyers, generating one goal and four assists along the way. The 35-year-old blueliner hasn't been officially shifted to long-term injured reserve, but that move could give the Blackhawks some cap relief if they need it.
