Chicago Blackhawks defenseman Riley Stillman exited Sunday night’s contest against the Vancouver Canucks with a leg injury. He will not return.
MEDICAL UPDATE: Defenseman Riley Stillman (left leg) will not return to tonight's game.

Riley Stillman suffered the injury on a play where fellow Blackhawks defenseman Erik Gustafsson pushed an opposing player into him. Stillman’s leg buckled and he had quite the time trying to make it back to the bench. As reported, he will not return.
The Blackhawks defense has seemed somewhat like a revolving door due to injuries of late. Caleb Jones, who was a healthy scratch tonight, would look to draw into the lineup should Riley Stillman be unable to start Tuesday night. The Blackhawks take on the Calgary Flames next, before returning home Friday for a matchup against the Blues.
