Slaggert On Track To Be Ready To Start The Season

Blackhawks winger Landon Slaggert has been dealing with an undisclosed injury in recent days but it appears he’s nearing a return. Ben Pope of the Chicago Sun-Times relays (Twitter link) that the 23-year-old is on track to return to practice on Tuesday and could get into a preseason game next weekend, putting him on track to be ready for the start of the season. Slaggert split last year between Chicago and AHL Rockford, getting into 33 NHL appearances where he had six points while adding 25 points in 39 contests with the IceHogs.
