The Chicago Blackhawks today announced that the team has assigned defenseman Wyatt Kaiser to the Rockford IceHogs of the American Hockey League.

The Rockford IceHogs today announced that they have assigned goaltender Ben Gaudreau to the Indy Fuel of the ECHL. The move comes after Drew Commesso was assigned to Rockford.

Kaiser skated in 37 games with the IceHogs last season recording 18 points (4g, 14a). This season, the 22-year-old has suited up for 28 games with the Blackhawks.

Gaudreau, 21, appeared in two games with the IceHogs last week including his first AHL start on Sunday against the Milwaukee Admirals. The North Bay, ON native 19 saves in regulation and overtime to send the game to a shootout. He then stopped three Admiral shooters to earn the two points.

The IceHogs return to action tonight against the Manitoba Moose for a 7:00 p.m. puck drop.

The BMO Center hosts the Hogs again on Friday, December 27^th. Rockford takes on Iowa for a “Screw City Night” and a youth jersey giveaway! Click here for tickets.
