Yet again, another round of cuts hit Hawks’ training camp today. Forward Hugh Jessiman was assigned to Rockford (AHL) after clearing waivers, and Swedish forward Ludvig Rensfeldt was returned to Brynas J20 (SuperElite). The Blackhawks training camp roster stands at 31 players before their fourth (first un-televised) exhibition game in Pittsburgh tonight.
With four more pre-season games left, the competition for the few remaining roster spots at forward is still wide open. Ex-Oilers Fernando Pisani and Ryan Potulny have played well enough to secure roster spots, prospects Igor Makarov and Jeremy Morin are making bids to stick around, and one-time lock, Viktor Stalberg, might have played well enough to make the IceHogs.
Training camp roster as it stands –
Forwards (17) – Kyle Beach, Bryan Bickell, Dave Bolland, Troy Brouwer, Jake Dowell, Marian Hossa, Patrick Kane, Tomas Kopecky, Igor Makarov, Jeremy Morin, Fernando Pisani, Ryan Potulny, Patrick Sharp, Jack Skille, Ben Smith, Viktor Stalberg, Jonathan Toews
Defensemen (10) – Nick Boynton, Brian Campbell, Brian Connelly, Jassen Cullimore, Jordan Hendry, Niklas Hjalmarsson, Duncan Keith, Nick Leddy, John Scott, Brent Seabrook
Goalies (4) – Corey Crawford, Alec Richards, Hannu Toivonen, Marty Turco
