Before practicing in Anaheim on Friday afternoon, the Blackhawks made a few roster moves. Forward Andreas Athanasiou and defenseman Wyatt Kaiser are joining the team from Rockford, and defenseman Nolan Allan is headed to the IceHogs.

Athanasiou has done what he should do in the AHL: he’s scored eight goals with eight assists for 16 points in 16 games since finally returning from injury. With Nick Foligno leaving Thursday night’s game after the first period because of a lower-body injury, the Blackhawks didn’t necessarily need to bring up a forward; they had Lukas Reichel in the press box and there’s only one game left on the road trip. But maybe Reichel isn’t leaving the dog house just yet…
Swapping Kaiser and Allan is interesting. Allan has not been back and forth from Rockford this season while Kaiser, Louis Crevier and Ethan Del Mastro have made the drive. He was a healthy scratch on Thursday night and we all know how Blackhawks fans feel about TJ Brodie getting that ice time instead… Kaiser has appeared in 17 games with Rockford and posted three assists.
With the NHL trade deadline one week away, perhaps this is a showcase move for one/both of Athanasiou and Kaiser?
