Blackhawks' Louis Crevier: Elevated from minors

Crevier was promoted from AHL Rockford on Monday.

Crevier was promoted after Philipp Kurashev (hand) was designated for injured reserve in a corresponding move. Following the departure of Seth Jones via trade, Chicago will have some minutes available on the blue line, though Crevier will need to edge out the likes of Ethan Del Mastro and Wyatt Kaiser for opportunities. He may benefit from being one of two right-shot blueliners among the seven defensemen on the NHL roster.
