He was acquired in a multiplayer trade with Tampa Bay last March.

The team also said veteran forward Jujhar Khaira is day-to-day with a right ankle injury.
Khaira, 27, is coming off a season that was cut short in February due back surgery. He had three goals in 27 games in his first season with the hawks, after agreeing to a two-year contract last offseason that carries a $975,000 salary-cap hit.
The Blackhawks open the season on Oct. 12 in Colorado, against the defending champions, Avalanche.
