He was seen in a walking boot after the game.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"inline-text-4\">The way his ankle and leg bent, it looked like he would be lost for the season. Instead, Dickinson is going to miss at least two games with a high ankle sprain.<\/h2>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">High ankle sprain for Dickinson, he\u2019ll get more imagining tomorrow.

His goal production is way down from his career-high 22 last season which earned him a two-year contract extension. Although, the scoring was an added bonus as it was his leadership that really earned him that deal.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-9\">Dickinson repeating his outstanding offensive output this season was probably not in the cards. What the Blackhawks will miss while he is out is his leadership on the ice and his two-way game.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-10\">Dickinson still has not been put on IR, as more tests will be done. If he does go on injured reserve, then maybe Colton Dach&#8217;s return to Rockford will be short.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-11\">Dach was demoted yesterday after scoring a goal and registering three assists during his first 13 career NHL games. He was sent back to the AHL in part because he was inconsistent with his physicality&#8211;a key to his game. Inconsistency is what happens to a rookie trying to break into the NHL.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-12\">Dickinson was moved up to the second-line center recently. Frank Nazar skated on the second line in practice today with Philipp Kurashev centering the third line.<\/p>\n<figure><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Chicago Blackhawks center&#8217;s ankle and leg took an awkward bend, and Jason Dickinson was seen leaving the United Center in a walking boot.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":13050,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-13049","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-chicago-blackhawks"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.7 -
