The Chicago Blackhawks have been hit by the injury bug recently, as well as the stupidity bug, forcing them to call up several youngsters up from the Rockford Icehogs.
On Wednesday, the Hawks placed both center Marcus Kruger and defenseman Steve Montador on injured reserve. Dan Carcillo was also handed a seven-game suspension by the NHL on Wednesday, but he also has a serious knee injury and could be out for a while, all things considered.
