Blackhawks Put Kaiser on IR, Recall Replacements

The Blackhawks waste no time post-Olympic break, sliding Wyatt Kaiser onto IR with that nasty lower-body tweak from the Columbus debacle and yanking Kevin Korchinski and Sam Rinzel straight up from Rockford to fill the void. Kaiser's been a rock on the back end all season, logging top-four minutes without much fuss, so his multi-week sideline stint throws a wrench into Blashill's defensive pairings right as they gear up for Nashville.
