Frank Nazar Injury: Moves to IR

Nazar (upper body) has been placed on injured reserve by the Blackhawks, the team announced Sunday.

Nazar has been out since Dec. 20 after suffering an injury in a game against the Senators. The 21-year-old's placement on injured reserve is retroactive to Dec. 20 and has no effect on his timeline for a return, which is expected to take about a month. Nick Foligno was activated from injured reserve in a subsequent move. Nazar has 21 points in 33 games this year.
