The Chicago Blackhawks have reassigned right wing Jack Skille to the American Hockey League's Rockford IceHogs.

Skille, 22, has been held scoreless in two games with the Blackhawks this season.

The Madison, Wisconsin, native has appeared in 26 games with the Blackhawks over the last three seasons (2007-09) collecting six points (4G, 2A).

The Blackhawks (3-1-1) host the Edmonton Oilers at the United Center on Wednesday at 7:30 P.M. The game can be seen locally on Comcast SportsNet and heard on Chicago's WGN Radio 720.
