  • Blackhawks' Laurent Brossoit: No timetable for return

    Per Ben Pope of the Chicago Sun-Times, Brossoit (knee) will remain out indefinitely, coach Luke Richardson said Saturday.

    Brossoit underwent surgery Aug. 27, and he was expected to need seven weeks to recover. Richardson said it has taken way longer than initially projected, and there is currently no timetable for his return. Brossoit was expected to share the net with Petr Mrazek, and that could still happen upon his return.
