Nikita Zaitsev Activated From Non-Roster List
1 year agoChicago Blackhawks defenseman Nikita Zaitsev (personal) has been activated from the non-roster list ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Sabres. The 32-year-old spent some time away from the team to deal with a personal issue but is good to go again and available for selection. Chicago hasn't used Zaitsev much this season, with the Russian blue-liner appearing in only five games. He's impressively produced a plus-four rating with 10 hits and eight blocks but has only one point on his account. In a corresponding move, the Blackhawks have sent Filip Roos back to the minors.
