The Chicago Blackhawks split into two very distinct rosters for Thursday’s practice, with one group looking like an NHL lineup and the other resembling an AHL squad. Kevin Korchinski was a notable name on the AHL side, raising questions about his future with the Blackhawks.

The CHGO Blackhawks crew — Jay Zawaski and Mario Tirabassi — break down what this split means for Korchinski, Bedard, Nazar, and Chicago’s defensive depth.
