Rockford, Ill.- The Chicago Blackhawks have recalled defenseman Dylan Olsen from the American Hockey League's Rockford IceHogs. Additionally, the Blackhawks have reassigned defenseman Simon Danis-Pepin from the ECHL's Toledo Walleye to Rockford.

Danis-Pepin is entering his third season with the IceHogs after appearing in 23 contests and recording a goal and three assists with the IceHogs in 2010-11. The 23-year-old made his professional and AHL debut with Rockford on Oct. 4, 2009 in a loss at Peoria and notched his first professional goal in a win over Chicago on Oct. 16, 2009.

Next Home Game: Saturday, Feb. 11 vs. Chicago Wolves.
