The Chicago Blackhawks placed forward Tyler Johnson on injured reserve Thursday, two days after he injured his right ankle during a collision with Florida Panthers center Aleksander Barkov.
“It’s tough,” forward Sam Lafferty said. “He was playing so well. He brings so much to the table for us, so much energy and so much skill, he scores, he makes plays, he hits, he does it all.
”Patrick KaneRichardson said Jujhar Khaira will move up to the second line with Raddysh and Toews, and Reese Johnson will replace Khaira on the fourth line with MacKenzie Entwistle and Colin Blackwell“With the power play, it’ll just be how many power plays and penalty kills we have, maybe JJ or Dickinson. We’d like to have a lefty down low in front of the net. And then Max will probably move into Tyler’s spot on the power play.”.
