The one who is in his third season behind the bench of the “Hawks” indicated, Monday, that the second best scorer of the team during the 2023-2024 season was going to watch the team’s next game from the press gallery .
“We need more input from him,” Richardson said during a press scrum, comments relayed by Charlie Roumeliotis of local radio station WGN 720. “I know he’s going to use that as a call to wake up and be better.”
Kurashev has only scored one goal in six games since the start of the regular season. Last year, he finished just behind Connor Bedard among the team’s top scorers with 54 points, including 18 goals, in 75 games.
The 25-year-old Swiss was selected in the fourth round of the 2018 draft by the Blackhawks while he played for the Quebec Remparts in the QMJHL.
