The Chicago Blackhawks have activated forward Artem Anisimov from injured reserve.

Anisimov has 13 goals and five assists in 36 games this season.

He hasn’t played since Dec. 28 after suffering an upper-body injury.

The 29-year-old usually slots with Patrick Kane, but seems likely to pivot Ryan Hartman and Alex DeBrincat on Chicago’s third line.
