Central Notes: Seguin, Bishop, Pesce, Blackhawks

March 5, 2021 at 6:57 pm CDT | by Brian La Rose 1 Comment

When Ben Bishop (knee injury) and Tyler Seguin (hip injury) were both ruled out with long-term injuries, the initial hope for the Stars was that they would be able to be back at some point in March.  While it doesn’t look like that will be the case, it doesn’t appear as if they’ll be gone much longer than that.  GM Jim Nill told Mike Heika of the Stars’ team site (Twitter link) that both players have started skating lightly and are about four-to-six weeks from returning.  Dallas could certainly use the veterans as they sit sixth in the Central in point percentage (they’re last in points but have several games in hand on every team).  Seguin’s absence, in particular, has been tough with the Stars scuffling offensively but it appears they’ll be waiting a bit longer for their top center and long-term starting goaltender.

Elsewhere in the Central Division:

  • The Department of Player Safety doesn’t typically issue discipline within hours of an incident occurring but that’s what happened to Hurricanes defenseman Brett Pesce as the league quickly announced a fine of $5K for a tripping incident on Detroit forward Robby Fabbri in the second period of Thursday’s game. It is the first time in Pesce’s career that he has received some sort of supplemental discipline from the league.
  • The Blackhawks are working towards purchasing their AHL affiliate from the City of Rockford, reports Ben Pope of the Chicago Sun-Times. The current operating group opened the request for proposal process earlier this week with the NHL club being expected to be the successful bidder.  While their current affiliation agreement is in place through next season, this would all but cement Rockford as the home of Chicago’s top minor league club for years to come.

    I wish the hawks had the Chicago wolves as their minor league team, goin to see the wolves is a half hour drive, goin to Rockford is basically 100 hours, however I think owning your minor league team would be good for any organization regardless of where it is
