‘Hawks send towering d-man Svedberg back to AHL

Chicago sent blueliner Viktor Svedberg back to AHL Rockford on Sunday, the club announced.

Svedberg -- who goes 6-foot-8, 234 pounds -- was recalled from the IceHogs a few days ago with veteran d-man Michal Roszival dealing with an injury. The 24-year-old Swede has made an impact with the ‘Hawks this year, scoring three points in 16 games, but has struggled to stick consistently at the NHL level.

That said, he did make one appearance during this most recent recall. Svedberg played just under 14 minutes in a 2-1 win over Colorado last Tuesday, registering an assist.

Svedberg has appeared in 30 games for Rockford this season.
