The Chicago Blackhawks reduced their roster to 24 players on Saturday by assigning goaltender Antti Raanta and forwards Jeremy Morin and Brandon Pirri to the Rockford IceHogs of the AHL.
The Blackhawks are expected to make one more roster cut in the next few days. They currently have 13 forwards, nine defensemen and two goaltenders.
Blackhawks coach Joel Quenneville recently said he planned to keep eight defensemen. The final spot is likely between Michael Kostka and Ryan Stanton.
The Blackhawks open their season against the Washington Capitals on Tuesday.

How about 2 goals for Frolik tonight? He scored all of 3 goals for the Hawks in 45 games last year. The change of scenery may do him well.
