Troubling news looms for the Chicago Blackhawks and their off-season acquisition Alec Martinez as he's dealing with an uncomfortable injury

Two games ago Blackhawks defenseman Alec Martinez took a shot up high, specifically in the neck, and he has been dealing with that same injury since.
Martinez is a Stanley Cup Champion, and has a boat load of experience underneath his belt as an NHL defenseman.
But with aging, he seems to be more fragile, he's left practice for the third consecutive day after not being able to cope with a 'neck injury'.
Martinez (neck) is not practicing Sunday, Ben Pope of the Chicago Sun-Times reports. Martinez left Saturday's game after he was struck in the neck by a deflected puck.

While his status is in doubt for Monday's game against the Rangers, Martinez was not placed on IR and doesn't appear to be in for an extended absence.

Kevin Korchinski was recalled from AHL Rockford on Sunday to provide additional defensive depth.

Anders Sorensen, the Blackhawks' new head coach remained tight lipped in an interview with TheAthletic's Blackhawks reporter Mark Lazerus , stating he cannot give out any more info until he is further evaluated.
