With Boris Katchouk injured, Lukas Reichel has easier path Blackhawks roster
MILWAUKEE - It hasn't come about in a way the Blackhawks would've preferred, but Lukas Reichel now has an easier path to make the Hawks' opening-night NHL roster.
Entering the final week of the preseason - after the Hawks lost 3-0 to the Wild at Milwaukee's Fiserv Forum on Sunday - the roster battle on the forward side now looks more interesting.
