Artem Anisimov News
Anisimov suffered an upper-body injury early in Tuesday's loss to the Penguins and won't play tonight vs. the Islanders. With Anisimov out, Anthony Duclair is expected to replace him and Nick Paul is expected to shift to centre.
Anisimov has missed the last 10 games with a groin injury but will play Friday in Minnesota. The veteran centre has just two goals in seven games this season.
Anisimov simply can't stay healthy this season. He returned to the lineup on Tuesday, played in just two games but is back on IR. Overall, he has missed eight of the last 11 games and the latest injury will cost him at least three more games.
Anisimov missed the last five games but as expected, he'll be back in the lineup vs. the Islanders. Anisimov will replace Filip Chlapik and re-enters the lineup with one goal in five games.
Anisimov, who has missed the last five games, travelled to New York with the team but will not play until Tuesday vs. the Islanders. Anisimov has battled injuries all season so far, leading to just one goal in five games with his new team.
Anisimov previously missed three games with a lower-body injury but played Monday in Dallas and is now ruled out for at least two weeks. There is no word if it is a new injury or if Anisimov re-aggravated the same lower-body issue he was dealing with. J.C. Beaudin is expected to make his NHL debut in Anisimov's place on Wednesday.
Anisimov will miss Monday’s game against the Wild due to a lower-body injury. One of Jordan Szwarz or Nick Paul is expected to replace Anisimov in the lineup.
Anisimov suffered a lower-body injury in the Senators’ win over the Lightning on Saturday and will be a game-time decision against the Wild. Anisimov has one goal and eight shots while averaging 15:00 TOI/gm in four games with Ottawa.
This trade was all about the Blackhawks clearing cap-space and Anisimov is a middle-6 upgrade over Smith. Anisimov is coming off of a 15-goal, 22-assist season in 2019 and had three straight 20-plus goal seasons but won’t have the same surrounding cast with the Senators.
Anisimov has missed the last four games with a concussion but is expected to play Tuesday vs. the Predators. Anisimov has registered just six goals on 61 shots (9.8 SH%) and nine assists (15 points) in 31 games this season.
Anisimov suffered a concussion against the Canadiens vs. Montreal on Sunday and is out indefinitely. Anisimov’s move to IR opened up a roster spot for the Blackhawks to recall Dylan Sikura from Rockford (AHL).
Anisimov was forced to leave Sunday’s game against Montreal and is in concussion protocol. Anisimov will not travel to Winnipeg and will likely miss Wednesday’s game vs. Pittsburgh as well.
Chicago announced that Anisimov will return tonight over the weekend so activating him from IR was simply a formality. Gustav Forsling was re-assigned to Rockford (AHL) yesterday to create room for Anisimov.
Anisimov has played almost exclusively with Patrick Kane during his first two years in Chicago, recording 42 goals and 45 assists (87 points) in 141 games. However, so far in training camp, Nick Schmaltz has been skating on the second line with Kane and Anisimov is centering the third line with Patrick Sharp and Ryan Hartman. This affects Anisimov’s upside drastically, but it’s still early in training camp and he could find himself back in his regular role before too long.
