Blackhawks' Nick Foligno Placed on Injured Reserve with Broken Hand

Chicago Blackhawks forward Nick Foligno has been placed on Injured Reserve, retroactive to November 15, after suffering a broken hand from blocking a shot in Saturday's game against the Toronto Maple Leafs. Head coach Jeff Blashill announced a recovery timeline of four weeks for the veteran leader. Foligno's absence will be significantly felt in the Blackhawks' leadership group, as he is one of the players who wears a letter on his sweater, requiring other team members to step up in that role.
