Blackhawks' Alexander Nylander: Reassigned to AHL Rockford
Nylander was sent to AHL Rockford on Sunday, Charlie Roumeliotis of NBC Sports Chicago reports.
Due to a knee injury (and subsequent surgery), Nylander didn't play a single game in 2020-21.

Blackhawks' Alexander Nylander: Snags one-year contract
Nylander inked a one-year, $847,125 deal with Chicago on Monday.
Nylander saw action in 65 games for the Hawks back in 2019-20 before missing the entirety of last season due to a knee injury. The winger should challenge for a top-six role during training camp, which would set him up to repeat the 26 points he put up in the 65 outings. Even if he doesn't crack the top six with consistency, Nylander should be in the lineup when fully fit and shouldn't have to worry about being a healthy scratch.

Blackhawks' Alexander Nylander: Will be ready for training camp
According to general manager Stan Bowman, Nylander (knee) will be "fully healed and ready to go by training camp," Mark Lazerus of The Athletic reports.
Bowman also noted that he and the Blackhawks still see Nylander as a "real asset" for the team moving forward. The 23-year-old forward missed the entirety of the 2020-21 campaign after undergoing surgery in late December to repair a meniscus tear in his left knee, but he was decent for Chicago in 2019-20, notching 10 goals, 26 points and 94 shots in 65 contests. Nylander will compete for a spot in the Blackhawks' top six during next season's training camp.

Blackhawks' Alexander Nylander: Returns to practice
Nylander (knee) took part in individual drills at Monday's practice, according to a video from his personal Twitter account.
Nylander was originally given a 4-6 month timetable from the date his torn meniscus was announced on Dec. 23, so he's coming up on the low end of that range. It's encouraging to see him skating without issues, though the 23-year-old winger will surely need a few full practices to get back up to speed and grow accustomed to taking contact again. Nylander remains on LTIR at this point, so the team will need to return him to the active roster before he's eligible to take part in game action.
