The Blackhawks are finishing the home stand 2-1-1 and are headed on the road to take on the Kraken. Nick Foligno and Luke Richardson talked about what the Blackhawks can take from the last four games with them

The Chicago Blackhawks placed forward Boris Katchouk on waivers on Monday afternoon.

Katchouk, 25, was a healthy scratch in all four games of the recent homestand. His last game was on Dec. 3, which came in a 4-1 loss to Minnesota.

Katchouk has four points (two goals, two assists) in 17 games with the Blackhawks this season. He's averaging 12:08 of ice time and has struggled to be an everyday player in the lineup.

Teams have 24 hours to put a claim in for Katchouk. If he clears — which is expected — the Blackhawks will send him to the Rockford IceHogs of the American Hockey League, where he can get more consistent playing time.
