Boqvist was knocked out of Monday's game after one shift and was not on the ice for Wednesday's practice. With Boqvist in concussion protocol, look for Nikita Zadorov to replace him in the lineup on Thursday.


It's unclear whether or not Boqvist will actually play on Tuesday, since the Blackhawks have played pretty well as of late. If he does play, he will most likely replace Nicolas Beaudin.

Getting added to the COVID-19 reserve list means that Boqvist likely will not be available for the Tuesday/Wednesday back-to-back in Nashville. Boqvist's roommate Alex DeBrincat was also added to the list, so Chicago could be without two of their best offensive weapons in a tough series with the Predators.



Boqvist suffered a concussion vs. the Blues on Sunday and is out indefinitely. With Boqvist out, Nicolas Beaudin was recalled from Rockford (AHL) and will make his NHL debut on Wednesday. Lucas Carlsson will likely see some power-play time with Boqvist sidelined.

Boqvist was a late-scratch from Friday's lineup after suffering a wrist injury in warmups. He was back on the ice for Sunday's morning skate and said he is "good-to-go" for tonight's game vs. the Blues.

Boqvist sat out of Sunday's game with a shoulder injury but will replace Nick Seeler in the lineup on Tuesday. The rookie defenseman comes into play with one goal in his last 10 games.

Boqvist was forced to leave Wednesday's game with a shoulder injury and will not play tonight in Winnipeg. The Blackhawks said that Boqvist could play if he needed to but they will play it safe with the up-and-coming rookie blueliner.

Boqvist missed one game with a shoulder injury but will replace Olli Maatta in the lineup tonight vs. the Blue Jackets. Boqvist has one goal and two assists in 14 games this season.

Boqvist was hurt early in Monday's loss to the Devils and won't play tonight vs. the Islanders. Boqvist should get a chance to play big minutes with Brent Seabrook and Calvin de Haan out for the year but he'll have to wait for his shoulder to be 100 percent.

Boqvist will appear in his seventh NHL game of the season in Vegas. The rookie defenseman has one goal on 10 shots while playing 14:27 ATOI in his first six games. He will replace Slater Koekkoek in the lineup.

The Blackhawks placed Andrew Shaw on LTIR to give them some cap-relief to call-up Boqvist and Matthew Highmore. Boqvist had one goal in six games with the Blackhawks earlier this season and has posted six points (1G / 5A) in 15 AHL games this season.

Boqvist scored one goal in six games while playing 14:27 ATOI with the Blackhawks. The 19-year-old defenseman returns to the AHL where he had one goal in six games before being called-up.

After just six AHL games, Boqvist was called up and the 2018 No.8 overall pick will make his NHL debut in Los Angeles. The 19-year-old defenseman will play on the top pair with Duncan Keith at even-strength and on the second power-play unit.

Boqvist was the No.8 overall pick in 2018 and has registered just one goal in six games with Rockford this season. He is an under-sized, offensive-minded defenseman that had 60 points (20G / 40A) in 54 games with the London Knights (OHL) last season. The Blackhawks continue to make a commitment to younger players, as Boqvist's promotion comes one day after they said Kirby Dach will remain with the team.

The Blackhawks picked Boqvist with the No.8 overall pick in this summer’s draft. The dynamic offensive defensman was unable to crack the opening night roster, so he heads to London for his first season in North America—he played in Sweden last year.

Boqvist doesn’t have great size, but is one of the most offensively-gifted blueliners in this draft class. Boqvist has great wheel and loves rushing the puck, looking more like a forward than a defenseman. During his time in Sweden’s top league this season, Boqvist had just one assist in 15 games.
