Andreas Athanasiou Injury: Suffers injury in minors

Athanasiou, who was sent down to AHL Rockford in mid-November, sustained a hand or wrist injury against AHL Chicago on Sunday, Ben Pope of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Athanasiou's stint in the minors was supposed to help him rediscover his game after being held without a point through his first five appearances this season. While the veteran winger did manage to score a pair of goals for the IceHogs, his injury will no doubt be a setback for his chances of earning back a spot in the Blackhawks' lineup.
