BREAKING: Blackhawks Key Piece To Miss Time With A Wrist Injury

The Chicago Blackhawks begin their season tonight. Earlier today it was announced they will be doing so without a key piece of their lineup.

The Chicago Blackhawks are expected to put one of their young stars on Long Term Injured Reserve (LTIR) due to a wrist injury. According to multiple sources, Philipp Kurashev's wrist injury that he has been dealing with throughout the season is more serious than initially thought.

He will now be placed on LTIR reportedly. Once he is he will have to miss at least 10 games and 24 days before being allowed to return. The Blackhawks will have to turn to other young forwards such as MacKenzie Entwistle and Boris Katchouk in Kurashev's absence.

The Blackhawks open their season tonight against the Pittsburgh Penguins where we will get our first look at Connor Bedard in a Blackhawks uniform.
