It's been a tough day for prospects with the Chicago Blackhawks. At least four of them went to the dressing room during a prospects game Tuesday against the Minnesota Wild with apparent injuries. According to Charlie Roumeliotis, who was covering the game for NBC Sports, the first player to leave was third overall pick in 2019, Kirby Dach. He didn't return, although the injury isn't believed to be serious.

Next it was Philipp Kurashev, drafted in the fourth round in 2018, as reported by Senior Writer Mario Tirabassi.

Following that, we're back to Charlie Roumeliotis with a report on Adam Boqvist, the eighth overall pick in 2018. Again, it looks like him being taken out of the game is more for precautionary reasons.

After that, it was Mikael Hakkarainen, drafted in the 5th round in 2018

According to Roumeliotis, the team says Dach and Boqvist seem to be fine. Kurashev went into the boards hard and stayed down for a while before leaving the ice with a trainer. Wild forward Damien Giroux was ejected for boarding. It's unclear what happened to Hakkarainen, who left the ice under his own power.
