The Blackhawks have recalled Gustav Forsling from Rockford (AHL).

Forsling, 21, was “sent down” yesterday as a paper transaction to get under the salary cap ceiling before they put Marian Hossa on LTIR. In 2016-17, Forsling split time between the NHL and AHL, collecting five points (2G / 3A) in 38 games with the Blackhawks. He is expected to open this season on the Blackhawks’ third pair.

The Blackhawks have sent Gustav Forsling to Rockford (AHL).

Forsling has been a healthy scratch in three of the last four games and played just 10:17 TOI last night. His return to the AHL suggests that Brian Campbell will get back into the lineup on Friday. Forsling has one goal and three assists (four points) in 32 games with Chicago.

The Blackhawks acquired Gustav Forsling from the Canucks for Adam Clendening.

Forsling, 18, was the Canucks fifth round pick (126th overall) in 2014. The Blackhawks did not have room for Clendening, who deserved to be in the NHL, so they moved him for a younger prospect, who they will let develop for the next few years. Forsling has three goals and two assists in 35 games with Linkopings HC in Sweden.
